Push-through sizer needed for .72-caliber conical

[Naphtali]

I've been working on an easier-to-shoot, easier-to-load version of my .72-caliber conical. I've concluded that no variation of that conical will be significantly lighter weight. The only way to make shooting any conical variation is to reduce the powder charge. I can do this because my hunting area is unusually rough and short ranged. It is satisfactory for open-sight pistol hunting — were this what I wanted to do.

I'm thinking that a push-through sizer will allow me to avoid mallet loading and obtain results I seek. Large bullet diameter probably means such a sizing die is not available "off-the-shelf". And round ball is not the way I want to deal with it.

I'm requesting a solution. Please PM me with contact information for someone who can make one for me.

Try talking with North East Trading Company. They make nice sizes and can maybe do a 720 for you. 692 is the largest listed on their site

Contact Corbin about a swaging die for that size. They make swaging dies for 12 gauge slugs, and 12 gauge is .72, so if they don't already have something that will work, they likely can fashion something that will.
