At the advice of someone I emailed Hornady about purchasing 505 Gibbs reloading dies. This was there response: Yes, Hornady Mfg. Co. can manufacture custom made dies for the .505 or .550 Gibbs cartridges. They will require 1"x12 dia. dies and the price is $490.00 plus $18.50 delivery charge that totals $508.50. Once we have received [3] fired cases and payment, turn-around time is 6 to 8 weeks in house plus delivery time to the customer. The best to you in reloading, shooting, & hunting! Lonnie Hummel Anyone else have a REASONABLE source for these? My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost. | ||

RCBS.... 418.99 on Midway USA.... They are not "custom" as you are not sending them fired cases. But they do come with the thread adapter, shell holder not included (but Midway has that to...

What in the world do 300 Phoenix dies have to do with 505 / 500 Gibbs? My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost. | |||

Maybe they're also made of gold. Frank "I don't know what there is about buffalo that frightens me so.....He looks like he hates you personally. He looks like you owe him money." - Robert Ruark, Horn of the Hunter, 1953 NRA Life, SAF Life, CRPA Life, DRSS lite | |||

Anyone else have a REASONABLE source for these?[/QUOTE] Contact Lee dies. They built my 606 Mammoth dies for only $100 per set with a $200 set up fee. Even for one set it's less than RCBS or Hornady and pretty close to C&H. Given the choice between C&H and Lee I would personally choose the later. Perhaps you could organize a buy group to break up the set-up fee. Marshall Jones | |||

btw, it is 1x14 not 1x12, just so no one gets a wrong part on order. Email Lonnie back, remind him that the 505 is a STANDARD round, and that a die reamer is $165 from manson ... and 3 feet of 1x14 is 14$!!!! I think the 490 is the 550 gibbs price, which is what he quoted me for a 550 flanged price... and I ordered my own reamer. if you have a "standard" gibbs, the dies are like 169 from CH4D, and $15 for the bushing for you press. jeffe opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?
