.257 sizing dies
I read a lot about the sizing of 257 slugs using Lee sizing dies…but they don’t offer them. Are they all custom ordered? I just recently purchased my 257 barrel from R&L and am having RJ-Porter size some slugs for me but I would like to eventually be able to pour my own.

I have tried to order a .258″ sizing die from Lee since last jan. As of 3 weeks ago, they were so far behind that they wouldn’t even take an order for a .258″ die.
I got tired of waiting for them so, I bought a new in box .258″ off of ebay for $28.
Thanks RC. I guess I’ll call them Monday, get my order in, and then sit on my thumb…all while ordering more and more from RJ 😎
Yes it is custom ordered.
The Lee Precision custom shop is far behind and for the past 8 months have been saying call back in 2 months. The dies I have ordered in the past have taken 6 to 12 weeks or so, the are 35 bucks delivered and they take the order over the phone.
