I have a sizing die I run the thor bullets in and works great I buy .501 and size to .5005 300gr in my knight with 100grV BH shoots bug holes if I'm up to it that day over 50deg back it down to 90 to 95gr BH.

Thanks for the help. I use Hornady one shot case lube to reload for my weatherbys. I am also using thor .50 300 gr conicals. the .501 starts quite hard and rams down with probablyu close to 20 pounds of effort but I could not find rifling marks on the bullet as Thor suggests. I asked Thor about lube they said no and felt the .501 was correct choice. If accuracy is not up to what it should be I might try your approach and resize the .502 bullet. Thanks for the feed back it was useful.

you can try pushing them throw the breech end to see what size they come out. make sure you us tip on the rod that goes inside the base of the bullet.
