die prefrences..

If you ever get into the really interesting stuff you will be using CH4D dies. Got those. Got Redding. Got Hornaday. Got RCBS. Got Lee. I've had dies for years for calibers I've never had, though I think I may have "caught up" recently. I've still got the "problem" of brass for calibers I don't have... but who cares? Maybe someday I'll buy a gun in 5.56mm, or in .297/.230 Morris... or even .40 S&W. You know... the useless calibers!

Dies all seem to work more or less, except sometimes not so well. If anyone makes a proper die set for the 1895 Nagant I dunno who the hell it is...

But then I'm not trying to shoot a hair off of a gnat's bee-hind.

Only "major brand" NOT represented amongst my dies is Dillon. I've got a Dillon primer pocket swager. That's a powerful gizmo. You can really mangle a case head with it... But I've got no Dillon dies... or presses.

I have CH4D dies in .50 but I think most wouldn't know or care.

I mean,who else on this forum loads .50?

[Rumbler]

.408 CheyTac is as close as I can get to .50BMG.

I'm working on building a .416 Barrett bolt gun.
Tooling up for another expensive caliber.

There's at least one more person but he uses Dillon equipment .

[WinterSoldier]

.50 BMG, no... but I do load .50 Swedish more commonly known as 12.7x44R, a black powder round used in the Swedish rolling block.

Seating stem came from lee, solved the problem...

But..that did not stop the change over to all green rifle dies.

Its for the environment ......

You can open up the Lee stem with a drill for long ogive bullets like amax & zmax. Not a thing wrong with that

Forster Red is an addicting color too :-)
