FjoldSource for wildcat dies
I'm building a 22-250 Ackley-improved and wonder where I can get the reloading dies for it? I can find RCBS dies from Midway for around $100 but I'm wondering if there are better quality dies out there? I don't mind dropping $100 for a set of dies, but for RCBS quality?

FireformRedding makes all kinds of wildcat dies, and they are very good, but you won't get a complete set for $100.

FjoldThanks guys, CH and Redding both have the 40 degree Ackley -Improved for less than $100.

BigEdCH4D - my experience here is that these dies are the practical equal of any on the market. Call these folks up with a question and you're likely to get more information that you thought possible. Ed
I KNOW THIS SOUNDS STRANGE BUT LEE HAS A CUSTOM SHOP AND WILL MAKE ANYTHINBG YOU WANT.I use there collet dies alot and like them, though they will need alittle tune up before they make good ammo. They list a .22-.250 Ack Imp as a standard die.
RCBS is done, look elsewhere, they are to big for there pants.
