I size my 9mm cast bullets in a Lee .356" sizer.  They are quench hardened and powder coated.

Are you sizing first then powder coating ?

No, sizing last.

I also size last. Quench from the powder oven and then size. The pc is slick enough that I don't lube bullets for sizing any longer.

No, sizing last.

If you are measuring with a micrometer, not a vernier, and they are .358, the least effort is to buy a new sizer die of the correct size.
