I have been searching and searching for a (discontinued long ago) 9 Die Case Forming set made by Butch lambert of Shadetree Engineering. I had a picture of the set someplace but can't find it. I will pay top-dollar if somebody has one they would be willing to part with or even a finders fee if you find one for me and the deal goes through. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Butch Lambert posts a lot at Accurate Reloading. Check in custom rifles or just PM him.
He was still offering those sets about a year ago.
I spoke to Butch before I posted here... he only has his personal set left. I was hoping somebody has a set laying around collecting dust :-o
Sent you a PM, I moved my set out of the way over the holidays.
Wooooooooohoooooooooo! Fireball is the man! Thank you so much!
Ok, I think a couple of pics are in order,mmm,
well... since I paid for them already...

You all should look into these if are inclined to wildcat...
Somewhere around here I have an article (Handloader?) that has dies similar to those, and how they were made. The author called them 'quick dies'. He had a few more parts to his, but he also had a lathe and knew how to use it.
Sorry for my ignorance, but what are you going to do with these? Are they all just reduction dies?
Also curios
i'm going to use them to experiment and reform brass. from the research I have done so far these are a necessary ingredient of that process. I don't own a lathe nor do I have access to a friend with one so this was one of my only options.
Thank You!
Oh that would be like my 50BMG-17HMR project in reverse.Quote:

a 17HMR necked to .50 cal, yes I'd like to see that.Quote:

It does go to show with the proper technique and some patience, some miraculous things can be done with brass.
