Does anyone remember what TRCUDA (I think it was him that put it together) charged for the custom RCBS dies and 200 rounds of brass?

Nosey minds want to know.
Well those that forgot what they paid do! [Big Grin]

Louis,

I don't remember exactly either but I think that the dies were around $45 and the brass was $13 per 100.

Tim, I think the brass was $15.

Later this winter I would entertain a project like that again if you want.

I do have a pile of .223 Rem. Imp. dies on hand from CH-4D..... about 8 sets left I think that are not on hold for someone.

Next go around like that, I would like to work with Redding, I believe. RCBS could have done better than they did. First indications from the CH dies is good, but they are as slow delivering as I am! Takes most of a year to get dies run by them.

Mike,

Sounds like fun! I have an extra set of the RCBS dies still and a couple of 22 cal bbls that could be rechambered. I don't know about the availability of the brass though. I will do some checking on brass.

On a one shot deal for the brass, I could use my source perhaps. I would not want to make a habit of it, but he would probably work with me once in awhile. Let me know what you come up with.

The TC-List deal we put together was a pretty sweet one.

Besides being economically rewarding for all, it gave me an unusual opportunity to study all sorts of .22 cal. barrels. I learned quite alot from it, myself, from the technical end. As with the .308 Bellm rechambers not long ago, the numbers and types of barrels done at one time give a better picture of what is out there. Definite trends do appear more readily when working on just one thing over a large number of barrels.
