No one wanting to part with any die sets?

Jeffe,

I have a Corbin press and have been watchin' for .458 dies for some time. Haven't seen any save on eBay.

Am not really sure it makes much sense to swage jacketed bullets for the .458 anyhow. Could be that they'd react a lot like the Remington 405 gr bullet and we'd be making the .458 ARs into grenade launchers If they are only as good as Hawks, I'd probably end up using cast slugs for practice anyway.

What's the availability of thick jackets in this caliber? If quite thick jackets are available, it may be that it is time to make a set of dies.

Mike,
You are probably right.. there's enough bullets for the .458 to NOT do anything with.. i need to send Ritchie a 600gr .510 PP bullet, and have him make a .475 out of it.

butch hatfield can make whatever jackets you want... but you are right to mention hawks.. i don't shoot andy's bullets, if there's a choice.. and why would I want to make perdactly them!?!?!

THere aint NO .510 600gr PP bullets available in the US ... hmm, i wonder who shot them all?

jeffe

i make .500 and .512 that you could paper patch.

i also have a .510 1-e or could make a s-6 out of lead.

jeffe

wow.. normally i am overwhelmed with responses.. but this is like asking for a refund when shopping in a border town

no .475 or .510 dies for sale or trade?
dang, tough crowd

Jeffeosso;

I have some nice Walnut hill swage die sets in .375 -.458 - .475 - .510 and .366 among others if your interested. Looking to trade for a single shot rifle, 40 cal or larger if possible.

swageall

sending you a PM

I gave up, sold my press to rich, and decided that the prices for dies was higher than my desire to play.
