I prefer neck sizing but am having trouble finding an economical neck sizing die or die set. The "turn out a FL dies 1/4 turn" approach still requires case lube and I want to avoid that, so I'm trying to assemble a neck sizing die in .310 diameter. Hornady sells a "short 30" neck sizer die, but the inside neck expander button goes to .308 only, they don't show a .310 button anywhere.
Any suggestions?

just click the top left of the page where it says load data database and find yer load. They have 150 gr for the 7.62x39. I use the IMR 3031 and at 24.4 grs. I found it very accurate with a lot of punching power for the sks (i have a norinco). No signs of over pressure and cycles through the receiver well. Hope this helps.
