Pellet sizing with a T.R. Robb sizer…

[shootinsquid]

This might be a thread showing off my n00bness, but so be it.

Ordered these from Mr. Robb in jolly ol’ England and finally got around to using it since I had time today. I noticed that my Diana 54 liked pellets at 5.48mm head size because bigger than that made for difficult seating in the chamber, so I sized some RWS wadcutters I was using down from 5.54.

Aside from match shooters, how many of y’all size pellets to each rifle as a normal part of plinking? Just like for centerfire, I try to remove as many variables as I can to ensure confident shot placement.

Or am I nuking backyard plinking far too much?

I have two Trrob pellets sizers in .22 and .25 and like them.
When I got these first I polished the tapered holes for smoother feel.

Nice. How did you go about polishing the die?

Couple years ago....First I ordered some tapered reamers from aliexpress, also 3d printed some cores and diamond paste lapped.

It’s a hobby so whatever floats your boat
I have one in each caliber but have yet to use them…. Time!

I have that same one. I used it once. I just don’t need it.
