Been searching for a FL reloading die set for this caliber and can't seem to locate any. Can anyone recommend a source for purchasing? Midway doesnt list them and Graf's reports they are not in stock. Not listed in Reddings catalog. My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost. | ||

Try Huntingtons. They have a lot of the less common dies. Peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong; | |||

Called Hornady today and was told they are not on the immediate production schedule. The lady I talked to said in her opinion the earliest they will be produced is the first of the year.

That's totally opposit from what they told 'Bill/Oregon' when I was asking about dies in early August in this post. http://forums.accuratereloadin...241046411#1241046411 NRA Life ASSRA Life DRSS Today's Quote: Give a man a fish and he eats for a day.

Snowwolfe, If you just have to go with Hornady dies, I'll be glad to loan you a set of custom-grade 3 1/2"ers until you can round up your own - certainly up to six months... PM me your contact info and I will get them headed your way by this weekend. Suspect you've had snow coming down the mountains around Eagle River for several weeks now... Regards, Emory | |||

That is very nice of you but I can wait as my rifle will most likely not be built for about 6 months. Just trying to anticipate the delivery and accumulate the components. My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost. | |||

If you are caught short you can pick up a set of Lee 45/70 dies and crimper and adapt them. For my 450 No 1 Express 2 3/4" I cut the bottom 1" off the dies and used them as a neck die set. Drill out the crimper so the shoulder can enter and make a collar to extend from the shellholder to the crimper base. For your case which does not have a shoulder you may even be able to use the 45/70 dies as-is. | |||

Here is a quote I received from Hornady today via email: "Randy, There is a large back order for that particular dieset. Because it is a series 4 specialty die set, they will only be made for order that are in house. We would highly recommend getting on a waiting list for these dies. Thank you" My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost. | |||

That doesn't answer the question of when they're going to be produced though.. NRA Life ASSRA Life DRSS Today's Quote: Give a man a fish and he eats for a day.

Agreed. I asked how to get on the "waiting list" and this was there reply: Randy, You may call the sales department here at Hornady at 1-800-338-3220 or go through mail order companies such as Cabela's, Midway USA, Graf & Son's or many of the other fine mail order companies out there. Thank you My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost. | |||

I called Hornady today after two emails were never answered. I was told 6-8 weeks. The rep said the dies are not yet being produced but that Graf's and Midway were on the list to get some when they are ready. Looks like first of 2010 for Hornady. Use a double rifle.

I just for a reply from Hornady to an enquiry I sent them on the 14th reguarding the 450 NE dies. "I am checking on this and will get back to you as soon as I have an answer. I am sorry for the long wait on these dies, we do appreciate your patience with us. Thank you" I'm still waiting for an answer..

Yes! Last week Hornady told me they had shipped them out to Graff and MidwayUSA.. But neither company has seen them or gotten them.. IMO Hornady doesn't have a clue!

Midway site says: Hornady Custom Grade New Dimension 2-Die Set 450 Nitro Express Product #: 651436 Manufacturer #: 546433 Status: Coming Soon Date Expected In-Stock: 11/23/2009 Hornady Shellholder #54 (450 Nitro Express) Product #: 464981 Manufacturer #: 390609 Status: Coming Soon Date Expected In-Stock: 11/23/2009 I called Hornady on 20 October after two emails were never answered.

Buffalo Arms sent me a 450 #2 set of CH4 dies in two or three days.

I have the Hornady die set and shellholder on order from Grafs.

Starting to think these dies are almost impossible to obtain. Called Hornady Dec 4th and they told me they shipped some to Buffalo Arms, Grafs, and Nanchez in Nov. Called each of the companies mentioned and they said they don't have them in stock. Hornady said they would be reproducing more "soon". Time will tell.

It would make sense for Hornady to produce enough die sets to satisfy existing orders from distributors and some more for working inventory while they are tooled up to do so. My Email inquiries to Hornady go unanswered. My guess is that they haven't made any sets yet and won't until their production schedule says, make .450 NE dies. Since we don't have anyone on the inside, all we can do is wait. These customer "service" reps are not being informative. They probably don't know the answers and just say something to give some sort of response to a caller. Use a double rifle. It just feels better. Double Rifle Shooters Society | |||

I can understand you would rather not have the Hornady's in lieu of having the CH-4D's. It's like the Yin & Yang thing, huh? Rich | |||

I called Graf's today. I was told they did get some dies and shellholders in awhile back. They said they didn't get enough to fill all the backorders and are allocating them first come, first serve. They said they have a set of dies for me, but no shellholder. They don't expect another shipment from Hornady until January. The asked if I wanted the dies shipped right away. I told them that I would need the shellholder to use them. So, there seems to be a bit of progress from Hornady, who still neglects to answer emails. Use a double rifle. It just feels better.

Idaho, My rifle isn't due until Jan/Feb 2010 so I can wait a bit for the dies. Actually, I haven't heard that Butch has even started on my rifle, if he sends emails to customers about things like that. Snowwolfe ordered his before I did and hasn't posted anything concerning progress on his. Use a double rifle. It just feels better. Double Rifle Shooters Society | |||

Thanks Mike, I never gave the shell holder any thought. Called Grafs and out one on backorder as well. Am thinking the dies and shell holder may take longer to get than the rifle! My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost. | |||

You can always get them faster from RCBS or CH4D! Hey it's only money! Just tell your wife they were on sale..

Just got my Hornady .450 Nitro dies from Graf's. No shellholder yet. Set has 3 dies and a different design than RCBS or LEE. A spare decapping pin and lock ring wrench are included.

I must be jinxed. Just called Graf's and were told they are still on backorder! And get this, Hornady told me they have 75 shell holders in stock. My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost. | |||

Snowwolfe, Graf's told me last month that they did not get enough sets of dies to fill all their backorders. They said they fill by order date, oldest order gets filled first. I had ordered on 13 October. They are expecting another shipment from Hornady this month. I hope your dies and shellholders for both of us get there. Use a double rifle. It just feels better.
