Special order dies at discount?
Guys,

Anyone sell RCBS special order dies at a price less than Huntington's? Their heavy stuff is in the $235 range. Seems a bit much.

thanks,

Read "Special Order"...

They are only manufactured when you place an order, and some of them can take up to 6 months to fabricate...

mstarling,

Keep checking the classifeds here and other places, I have gotten lucky in the past.

The other option I have seen people use is the die blanks and have something cut for them.

I know one fellow wanted dies for a .577 Snider. Well RCBS lists at over 400.00 [Eek!]

He got a smith to ream out blanks and now has dies better than RCBS can make.

The classifeds are a good source, many people get tired of shooting big guns.

Midsouth Shooters Supply and they are cheaper than Huntingtons or RCBS. You can order directly from RCBS. 4-6 week wait sometimes less.

Thank you very much Gentlemen.

It also dawned on me that I should check out CH4D ... and the data indicates that their list is substantially less than RCBS on most things.

Thanks Again,

I have been wanting some RCBS 7.5 swiss dies. Does anyone know if you got a set of 284 win die sets and then used a 30 cal neck sizer if this would work or better yet is there a way to make the neck sizer bigger on 284 win die sets
