Any good way to open them up .002?

One assumes that they are harder than hell, and I dont have a good way
to id grind them and keep out taper.

Any suggestions or ?



I would just make a die out of whatever steel you have handy that
machines easily. Are you really going to use it enough to worry about
wear? I would mike the first couple of bullets sized and then mike
again when you have sized 50 bullets. That would give you an idea of
the rate of wear. My bet is that there is not a lot of wear.

If i am wrong , then i would take a die and case harden it.
