I recently started loading for my son's 40 S&W and picked up a Lee bullet sizing kit. The ram that pushes the bullet through the sizing die won't fit in the shell plate of my RCBS Ammo-Master progressive press. My fix for this is to fill a fired 40 S&W case half full of epoxy putty, then insert a fired .223 case, neck down, into the 40 S&W case. I then worked some putty into the small gap between the two cases and let the putty harden up. I now have a homemade ram that fits in my shell plate. I disconnect the indexing rod of the Ammo-Master to prevent the ram from rotating out of position. Should work for other calibers.
