"Guys, I just got my order of Thors in today and they are to small!
My season starts next week and there's no way I will have time to send
them back and get the right size. Any ideas?! "
It seems that we run into this issue from time to time and so I took some pictures and will show you how to re-size your Thor bullets to a larger size that's very simple and effective!
Tools needed:
One small light weight hammer
One 3/8" 8mm socket "Matco 8mm shaft DIA is .449"-.450"
Thor Bullets of course
Caliper or Micrometer to measure bullets diameter

Now lets say you ordered .502" Bullets, but some of them as you found,
just slide right down the bore very easily while the others take the
recommended 20-30 lbs seating pressure. All is okay now! You can easily
resize those looser fitting bullets to the size your need, and IMO this
is the perfect way to get the exact size you need.
You can now actually order the smaller .500" Thors and then resize them yourself to exactly what your rifles bore needs.

Today, I shot up the last of my Thors in my Traditions and all I have in
stock are .500" Thors in 250gr Ballistic Tip. I decided to take a few
pictures and share the process just in case you ever run into an
undersized bullet in the package or simply want to take it up a level
and size your own Thors for your bore. Quite a few on here knurl pistol
bullets to fit their bores so they can shoot sabotless, this process is
quite a bit easier because there's no knurling, just flaring up the base
of the bullet a touch and measuring the diameter of the base and flare
it up to where it needs to be for your bore size.
Get the idea?
I hold it in my hand so I can feel the amount of power I am hitting with.
After a few light taps with the hammer and I was where I needed to be.
