I have an NOE sizing die set coming with several different size bushings. For sizing bulk ammo efficiently, should I be using an Arbor press, a Lee, bullet press with this?

Yep! That's the one I got along with .248-50 bushings. I was hoping one of those Lee's would work too, so I need to get one now. Thanks man

Thats the one , I like mine mounted upside down on a board and clamped
to a table this way it's portable and I prefer to drop the slugs into the die and
not half to balance them on the push rod .

well I got my answer how this setup would work and that is upside down, I was confused
but I'm still wondering why the company selling the dies doesn't have video showing you how these work and what is needed
I would love to see a picture of this setup just out of curiosity

Ordered! It's funny, I watched the Amazon quantities go down from 6 to 3 when I placed my order. Had to have been from this thread lol

Here it is set up in an inverted RCBS press.
I ran it for a while in an old Pacific press pressing up. I got tired of dealing with the pile up of bullets when pressing up into an overflow cup.

Cool! I'll definitely be mounting mine upside down. I wonder why they chose to design it pressing up.. this way makes more sense to me.

I think just because that is how reloading presses and reloading dies are setup. It really kind of takes a dedicated sizing press to do it inverted IMHO.

Wish I could claim the idea but I can't ! Barrow from others on cast bullet forum.
The ole RCBS was a steal / find on ebay. I do put a piece of foam in the plastic tub for a soft landing. Needed the lid to keep the bullets from bouncing out.
Have fun with the casting and sizing. It adds another dimension to the hobby and is kind of fun although it's work.

Sorry, for the odd question.
But are you using this for sizing all pellets (cast and manufactured or just cast)?
This looks like a fast way to size manufactured, but noticed in the comments by Loren the dimension of casting and sizing.

I am sizing cast bullets. I do cast pellets but they do not require sizing for what I am shooting them in.
