Sizing bullets

[Kurt]

Sam.

I don't know why the 52 had a tight barrel. But it was common with the 52 and 52-2 Masters what the other competitors said theirs was too.
When I first got the 52 I was shooting the .358 wad cutters hollow and flat base in it and I could never get the accuracy out of it till I found out to use a .355-6 in it and everything came together.
I have a couple Lee push through dies in .45 and .50 and every one the punch will fall out freely even with lube on the die walls. They will wiggle they are so loose in the die.
For the .38 hand guns I use a Star lube seizer I use a flat punch pushing the nose through first It squares the bullet in fine shape before it gets tight in the die.
