Overview
This sizing kit is designed for reloaders working with cast bullets that need a .459" diameter finish, while also providing the ability to seat and crimp gas checks. It is made to fit standard 7/8x14 thread reloading presses, making it a practical bench tool for those setting up a dedicated bullet-sizing workflow. Use requires Lee Liquid Alox and a reloading press, both sold separately, and users of the Automatic Processing Press will need to provide their own catch container. For handloaders who want a straightforward sizing and gas-check setup, it offers a focused solution without extra components.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Requires a standard 7/8x14 thread reloading press, so it is not a standalone sizing tool.
- Lee Liquid Alox is required for use and is sold separately, adding an extra purchase before the kit is ready to use.
- The reloading press is also sold separately, so total setup cost is higher than the kit price alone suggests.
- If used on the Automatic Processing Press (APP), a separate catch container must be supplied by the user.
