Any opinions of this company's dies? How does their quality compare to Redding or RCBS?
Also, any experience with their bushing dies?

I and a couple buddies have obtained dies from them for some relatively obscure cartridges. They are priced quite reasonably and have worked well, no complaints.

Hi Ian,

I have CH4D dies in 375 Flanged, 404 Jeffery, 470 NE, and 500 Jeffery. They have worked well. They aren't finished as well as Redding or RCBS, but they get the job done for my purposes. HTH


Good hunting,

Andy

I rang up with some enquires and left a message. The owner Dave rang back and dealt with my queries. I like the titanium nitrite coated FLS dies as well.
Good service good product.


Regards,
Bob.

My 404J dies are CH4D. I had issues only with the shell holder that came with them. I had some light loads back out the primer and there is no way to get the case in the shellholder this way. I had to use a #14 RCBS to resize as that is all I had and they are grooved for the primer issue. The dies work and are affordable.

I can't help with the bushing dies but I bought one of their swaging die kits and it works very well. The above comment about not being as finished as some others is very true, the threads on the die body had large hanging burrs and the finish on the threads was awful but functionality has been excellent.

they are the only company that makes Rosette Crimp Dies...dies for making blanks..

My father in law's VFW post was running out of sources for their honor guard at funerals for their M1s...

so I ordered a pair of Rosette Crimp Dies and showed my father in law how to reload them...

When I told CH4D what they were for, they didn't charge me at all... they gave them to the VFW with "their compliments"

Good guys..

I ordered a set of 35/30-30 Improved dies and they work as well as any dies I have ever used. Their customer service was excellent and Dave really helped in deciphering the reamer drawings for my chamber.

Dave made my 9.3x64 and 10.75x68 dies. Completely satisfied.
