making neck sizer bushings

[rscott5028]

I got myself into a pinch because I've been using no-turn Lapua brass up to now.

I turned some this weekend purely for consistency and suddenly find myself needing to step down from my current .268" to .267" for my Redding Type-S neck sizer bushing. I thought I had several sizes on hand. But, not so.

The catch is that I really need one today and can't find anyone local that stocks these. (Or, they aren't open on Mondays)

Other than titanium-nitrided...

Is there anything special I need to consider if I turn my own on my lathe?

I should be able to closely match the dimensions of one I already have and polish the ID/match the radius, etc...

Is stainless from a chopped Kreiger barrel Ok?

I'd really like to size and load this batch today. But, I don't want any surprises.

Thanks!
Richard

never mind...

gary answered my question.

It seems that they really need to be precision and hardened.

Nonetheless, I found a guy that knows a guy and I'll have the real thing later tonight.

thanks!
