The Lee Classic Bullet Sizing Kit .266" 6.5 Carcano is a straightforward solution for reloaders who cast their own bullets and need to size them for consistent chambering. This kit handles the sizing and gas-check seating in one step, making it one of the fastest ways to prepare cast bullets for loading. If you're already running a single-stage reloading press, you can adapt this kit to your existing setup without buying a dedicated machine.
The kit works by pushing bullets through the sizing die nose-first—no special nose punches required. As each bullet passes through, it's sized to spec, and if you're using gas checks, they're automatically seated and crimped in place. The sized bullets drop into a capture container, so you're not chasing them across the bench. For 6.5 Carcano loads, the .266" sizing die is designed to be about .001" larger than the groove diameter, which is the standard approach for cast-bullet accuracy.
This kit is purpose-built for single-stage presses with standard 7-8x14" threads—the push-through punch replaces your normal shell holder in the ram. Keep in mind you'll need a single-stage press and liquid bullet lubricant (both sold separately) to get started. The kit includes everything else: the sizing die, punch, and collection container.

The Lee Classic Bullet Sizing Kit is designed for single-stage reloading presses with standard 7-8x14" threads. It will not work on progressive or turret presses.
Can this kit size bullets and crimp gas checks at the same time?
Yes. When you lubricate the bullets with liquid alox, place a gas check on the base of the bullet, and push it through the sizing die, the bullet is sized and the gas check is seated and crimped in one stroke.
What else do I need to use this kit?
You'll need a single-stage reloading press and liquid bullet lubricant (sold separately). The kit includes the sizing die, punch, and collection container.
Why is this kit sized to .266" for 6.5 Carcano?
The .266" size is approximately .001" larger than the groove diameter of a 6.5 Carcano bore, which is the standard sizing approach for cast bullets to ensure proper fit and reliable accuracy.
