Been loading on a single stage for 35 years and decided to jump in to a progressive with both feet! Don?t plan on going that deep but I was adding up everything to go with a Dillon 550 and this popped up used and oh well

I fired up the mini lathe and turned an old rusted 9mm Luger sizing die in to a push-through sizer for 10mm Auto cases.  I chucked it up and drilled through the die with a cobalt 10mm drill, then used a boring bar straight in to open the bore to exactly 10.80mm (0.425 in).  Then I ran the bar in to a depth of 21mm at 10.9mm diameter, and used the cross slide set at 2 degrees to taper the 10.9 to the 10.8.  Finally, I flipped the die around and bored from the top to 10.9mm and a depth that half the case can sit in.  Of course, I cut a chamfer on the input side of the die with a 1/2 inch bit to guide the cases in easily.

It works great.  No lube needed and surface finish of the sized cases looks really good!

I could have gotten the same results with a Lee FCD gutted, but this way I salvaged a rusty die and saved buying one, and got to play tool-and-die maker in my garage for a couple of hours.  I call that a Win.
