I called Lee Precision to order a bullet sizer and punch for a 32-20. They could not tell me what size to order. I said a .30 caliber? Still no help.

Slug your barrel, add .001” and you will know what size to order.

I agree. Various size muzzleloader round balls and fishing weights being pure lead work well. When in doubt it's better to size bullets a bit larger rather than smaller. All of my 32 caliber firearms get .313 bullets. My 40-60 Highwall has a .406 bore but gets .409 bullets to help fill a loose chamber. They shoot great through a less than stellar bore and don't lead.

You might try looking at Redding Dies. Should be 30/20 Thompson Center.

I have there regular 32-20 sizing die....314. Do you want a custom die for there 32-20 CPA  which will be a .321. I took the .314 sizing die a 1/4" rod wrapped 360 wet dry and rolled it on a towel till it opened up the 321/322. Alot easier to put in lathe and do same. Just keep sizing bullets till you hit sweet spot......
