Anyone ever tried to swage a 375 jacketed bullet to .366??
I would prefer to trade them but looking at options. I have some .366 bullets but lots more 375.
 
try it it work whit a lot of lube , I pass .366 bullet in a .358 siz die and i get more lead to shoot in my 35 whelen , have fun
 
Thank you sir. That's exactly what we were looking for. I had thought about cutting off a 222 die and running the 375's thru. Will need to make some sort of adapter for the ram.
I contacted Lee and they said mot much chance of anything custom for awhile. Thanks again, Mark
 
NOE bullet mould company makes a nice push thru bullet sizer similar to the Lee but with removable bushings that fit in the die body. They make many sizes, I bet you'll be happy with one.
 
I made a sizer from a 222 die. Works but requires a lot of force on the press handle. Tried different lubes but decided to build a jig for the press.
Ran 20 thru, they are .367 ash, same as my cast bullets. Shot 6 yesterday with good results. Also got a box of Hornady 286 gr to compare. Like the cast so far. Rifle has a 20" barrel.
Made the brass from '06, there is a very slight swell in the web area, but I don't think this will be a problem with the type of shooting this one will be doing.
I have contacted NOE about a die with several insert. We'll see where that goes.
Thanks for the input, Mark
 
What I saw made was a common shell holder with a steel rod of the proper diameter welded to it leaving it long enough to push the bullet nose first through the sizing die.
 
Thats what I did. It worked but huge force required so I made up a jig for my press. Kind of mickey mouse so far but it works. Got sidetracked on another project but it looks like this may be ok.
Talking with the fellow at NOE about a die setup as well.
