Really a heck of a deal. I've been building a wildcat based on my blown out 280 case taking it to 411. Then I got lazy and decided to go with cylinder brass. Anyway I was able to fire form a few cases to send to Hornady to have a set of dies made. Rounded up the sights I was going to use, barrel band dummy rounds and sent everything to Toomany Tools. He got everything and opened the box on or around 3/30. He was to install the sights, band, handle the feeding issue and blue. He told me up front that it might take a couple months. I said that was fine I was waiting on the dies anyway. Top it off he called to say I had forgotten the follower and spring and said he would supply one and just send him mine when the barreled action got here.

Darn blued barreled action arrived back here in Houston on April 9th.

So here I sit with a beautiful complete rifle with no dies to load it with. Heck I have the scope but thought I had plenty of time and hadn't even bought the rings and bases yet.

After having cases where a smiths 2 months turned into 2 years I'm sitting here in shock as to the quick turn around and 1st class job.

Toomany Tools a class act.

Your experience mirrors mine.

Ramrod,

This has got to be the first time I've heard that complaint!

TooManyTools should be commended for finding a genuinely unusual way to "screw up."

See, this is just the kind of slanderous talk that turns people away from this site. Can't we just all get along?

What is cylinder brass? I assume it is brass that is cylindrical with no taper? If so, where can I get some in .535 head diameter and for long action?

Yep. some call it cylinder brass I have heard it called basic. 06 Cylinder will be 2.6-2.65" long with zero taper. You might try huntington's they list several basic cases.

What did you name your new cartridge ?
411 PDK?
Am very interested in your loads and results with this one.
I still have the hots for a 400 Whelen so any news would be great.
Post pictures and results.

Well I always liked the 400 Whelen so I went the same way "400 PDK" its little brothers in the safe are 280,340,350,380(well the barrel is there) and let's not forget the blacksheep 6.5PDK.
