.421 Sizing Die
« on: December 09, 2014, 08:03:18 PM »
I bought a Lyman 45 cast bullet sizer lubricator that includes a few dies, it hasn't arrived yet, but anyway one sizer die is say to be a .421. Anyone have a clue as to what that might be for? I was wondering if it might have be been a .429 or .427  that was misread? I guess I'll see soon enough.

I know that are a few .42 caliber guns but I'm really thinking that I going to receive either a .427 or .429. I'll post when I do.

The die package is marked .429 while someone wrote .421 on it, I'm going with the factory mark.

Once you get it, the Lyman dies are marked with the size, on the top flat part of the die.
