6.5 MM TCU Dies
I found several 6.5TCU barrels, now need dies. Can't find them at Midway etc. Anybody know where I can get dies for this caliber?(Generally I buy the dies, makes me get the barrel.)
Thanks;

You can try www.midsouthshooterssupply.com or anybody else that carries Hornady dies. I think that I also saw them at www.lockstock.com. The Hornady dies are pretty reasonable and the quality is not that bad. Their seating dies is particularly decent for a "non-benchrest" type of die.

Joe-
I think I may have a spare set that I'd sell. If you didn't locate any, let me know & I'll check my reloading room.

I got a set of Hornady dies from Lock, Stock, and Barrel (www.lockstock.com)a few months ago. I also recommend that you get the 6.5mm "short" neck sizing die. There's no need to full length size this case regularly. Also, I found that I had to expand to 7mm and then size back to 6.5 to create a tight headspace when fireforming. The Remington 140s that I had on hand had a long bore-rider section so I couldn't seat them into the rifling. I prefer headspacing with the case instead of the bullet anyway. Great caliber!
