10g sizing ring

Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone has made a 10g sizing ring? I’m looking to modify one of my lee loadalls for 10 bore. Decapping, priming, powder, wadding  and shot are not a problem. I will use an overshot card and roll crimp for finishing. So it is just the resize that needs addressing. I’m not looking for high volume so reluctant to invest heavily in Mec or suchlike. Any ideas gentlemen?

Hi Mat

the drawing is based on a Lee type sizing ring, I believe that the mec part has a threaded section. The measurements are based on the 14th edition Lyman reloading manual (max case size)

I'm sure it is correct, I'll look at mine tonight just to make sure I'm not going crazy! I'll try remember and take it with me to work tomorrow, then I can bore mic it to give you the best bore size to make it

I don’t intend to use the Lee exclusively, to remove the ring I have a vertical hardwood pin and an oversized steel tube with a T bar. I’m hoping I can push the sizer off or use a gentle persuader!

As stated previously I am not looking at high volume and will probably weigh each charge and shot for accuracy. I will be loading for my Mag 10, 3 1/2” and also for my 1911 Flues which has 76mm proofed chambers, but I will look for some light loads for the old girl.

thank you for your input

You should be alright like that,  I knocked it off using a wooden dowel and hammer

I haven't a clue what a sizing ring is. Thought that it was something perhaps that Winston72 uses :whistling:, but it just goes to show the helpfulness and ingenuity of those on this forum. Well done once again Tightchoke :good:.
