They have done it to me again. From the actual size of the Lyman cast bullet sizing dies that I have gotten recently (three in a row), they are running on the large size. About .001 over what they are stamped. I think that I will just order one-size smaller than I actually want next time. I do not know if RCBS is the same way...but RCBS dies are 7.00 more expensive. Can anyone who has purchased more than one (so we know that it is not a singular example), RCBS cast bullet lube/sizing die attest to if the actual size matches their stamp on the die?
 
Alloyies

Actually the bullet may be springing back .001"

My 358 die is dead on with softer alloy ,but harder the alloy the bigger .
 
WHOOPS!!! I pushed a .50 round, pure-lead ball through my Lyman .451 bullet size/lube die. It measured .451...it was bullet spring-back. My apologies to Lyman.
