z1r http://www.ch4d.com/According to their site, they are swamped with business. But I was able to access the site and their contact links seem to be working.

snowmanI bought some tools from them just before Christmas so I think they are doing just fine.

craigsterTheir "swamped" notice has been included on the home page for at least a couple years. Maybe they still are.

Brian CanadaThey recently told me that custom reamers would take about 10+ months.

dpcdI got two sets of 400 Whelens from them a couple of months ago; took a week. So if they are on the shelf, quick. If not, like anything else; you have to wait. So if you want something, call them; and stop guessing.

Ackley Improved UserThey are busy, and can't seem to find the proper help to meet demand.
Delay is at least 6 months.

iirangerThe alternative is Huntington Die Specialties. My understanding is that Fred H of RCBS kept the specialty shop when he sold the main business. Place to check. Luck. Happy New Year.

theback40I just ordered two sets of wildcat dies this afternoon. They said they would ship out tomorrow.
I asked for 22-243 middlestead, they said none in stock and they made a run in Dec and are out. next run of them is not slated until this Dec. I would say yes, they are busy!

Forget RCBS.......and Huntingtons is only basically a retailer any more.
Last Spring 2017 RCBS development manager (one Steve Koch) told me directly over the phone that they no longer do custom orders. If they do not have pre-existing tooling then they will not do it.Period.
Shame.....Fred Huntington is rolling over in his grave.
