Yes on the 375; no on the 405; the 450-400 won't enter the die; much larger case. Yes on the .458. No on the 500 NE; much thicker case than say, a .500 Linebaugh. 577? Get out your lathe and make one. I use the actual dies for all those cartridges, but I don't have a .577. | |||

Hello Frank. I should have one for the flanged 375, maybe the 450 and I think possibly on the 577 you are welcome to use until you round some up. And yes if you send lee a dummy round they will make anything you need for a reasonable amount. Mac Mac | |||

Have Lee make a die for each caliber, trying to make one die work for other calibers isn't a good idea as far as I know, since case specs are normally different and it wont' take much to get you in trouble with those DG rifles..I don't belive Lee charges extra for a custom crimp die, at least they didn't used to....

There are two custom Factory Crimp die prices. The standard 7/8 x 14" thread for bullet diameters .172 - .501 (minimum - maximum) is $31.00 ($25.00 + $6.00 processing fee) and the 1 1/4 x 12" thread for diameters .300 - .577 (minimum - maximum) is $81.00 ($75.00 for the die + $6.00 processing fee). Here are pictures of 458 Win Mag and 577 NE crimp dies. Jim | |||
