12.9x50.8jdjI got my dies when I got the gun made. SSK Industries. Both the forming and the Reloading dies are RCBS.

12.9x50.8jdjAll the .510 Dia bullets were from Barns. The last time I lookes I didnt see any 700 or 800 in the original.... ??? If in doubt call them , I have found a lot of good deals doing that.
Enjoy
Happy Shooting

<Headstamp>Fred,
Are you making your own cases or ordering them from SSK? I understand there is some lathe work involved at the rim.

12.9x50.8jdjI made my own, very easy. I did however have a local gunsmith turn the rims down to .532 (I think) Standard mag size.
The cases are very easy to make one you have the dies.

<Headstamp>Excellent.
You might try a case spinner mandrel in a drill press,slip the case mouth on it and use a wooden dowel in the empty flash hole held with your left hand and a file in your right hand.
Should be able to take those rims right down pausing to measure at times.
Just a thought to try.
Have Fun with your "exercise in mammoth"
Regards
