jeffeosso550 express Dies
Guys,
Neal and I have appoved the final case diagram on the 550 express aka 550 magnum 2.65".
CH4D is about to make a run of these, and I suggest, strongly that you get in on this, as it may be months before the next run.
I will be speaking to Dave later today, and try to express to him about how many, but I am only buying mine.. i did my time with the AR double raffle and the 500 club brass order.
Let me know if you are interested in these dies, and I will let dave have a guess as to how many.
You'll still need to individually place your order with
www.ch4d.com to get in line.

Frank MartinezCount me in on a set for the Express.
Do think it would be better to buy the long dies or shim for the express in case I go longer later? Would they be similar enough?

jeffeossoFrank,
I spoke with Dave on this, and the magnum dies will form the neck on a 2.8" properly, so I would get the express. While not perfect for the magnum, I have neck sized and crimped 458 lott with 458 win dies
