Need some tips, methods, and/or ideas to enlarge a Saeco .410 sizing die to .411.

Thank you

Never opened up a Saeco...

LEE is super
Easy as its a tiny thin area that actually sizes. Unlike a lyman sizer. Im assuming Saeco is similar.

I use a dowel close to dia and 6/8&1000 g papers with oil then rolled and measured on a bench top. Probably alot more work in that Saeco then the Lee. But thats my method.

I've done dozens of the lee and a few of the others using a split rod and drill motor, you just have to "sneak" up slow, I use a dial dial indicater on my loaded ammo to be shot in matches and nothing changed, I even took a 224 out to 7mm with a drill and honed up, I had to anneal it before drilling, the others are harder and take longer but the lee is still very hard, you will have to sacrifice a few bullets sneaking up on the final size, I have 30 or so from 22 to 54 cal and all are custom sized
