OP is thinking of Keith, formerly "The Perfessor". Here's the best route of contact for him that I have since he left CB forum, he can be found on this site https://artfulbullet.com/index.php?threads/sign-up-list-for-mark-ii-push-thru-bullet-sizer-set.8653/

I couldn't reload without my sherline lathe and mill.it really allows some freedom when I get a wild hair to try something.

here is a highly professional napkin sketch of a generic expander/nose sizer/spring pin punch/bottle cap opener insert that goes into one of Lee's genius inventions...
the Lee expander die ... if you obtain some 9/16 round bar stock ... steel or aluminum .... you could make a lot of gadgets pretty quick on a mini-lathe ...

A lyman die will slide into the guts of a Lee neck size Collet die. That's what I used a few years back. I will have to dig it out and see what I needed to do to secure it or if it just stuck in there.IIRC I used a spare. 222 die
The other option is take the ejector rod "I" out of the die body "H" and pull the bottom " depth stop " out of the press and make a long punch, and just let em drop through. I've done it that way

what Rick said: 30 lyman/rcbs; and 12 redding/saeco. i already have the NOE sizers; but i like more stuff. i found the source of the die i was looking for. it is on "the art and science of bullet casting" KEITH B makes them. a lot of stuff for the price.

Portos - Suggest you make up a flat faced top punch to push on the base of your bullets to size them nose first with lube backed off. Then lube with a second operation, base first with correct top punch for the bullet nose.

Cost. If like me, he already owns 25 or 30 RCBS and Lyman dies.

I probably understand this wrong,but, why just use either Lee or NOE push thru dies.
