I recently developed a hankering for something 416 Rigby flavored and satiated said hankering with a Ruger M77:
I commenced to gathering up the necessary accoutrements to reload and discovered that it is a different beast from the other cartridges I have been reloading. In addition to the case being too large for the Lee universal depriming die, the expanding button in the Lyman resizing die does not provide quite enough clearance for the cast boolits. I have a Redding large universal depriming die on the way and was curious to know what others are doing for a little bit of additional clearance for cast boolits (gas checked and sized to .417). The Lee universal expander is too small for the case so a Noe expander plug will not work.
