Hopefully I will have a die button tomorrow. Found one on ebay and ordered it, supposed to be coming from Melbourne, but I don't know if that's Melbourne, Victoria, or Melbourne, Wuhan.

Thanks for your help, people. Brownells don't have any. Looks like I'm going to get some 4140 and make my own on the lathe.

I got mine to shoot with the Lyman Postell, but only to 300m. After 500m, it was rubbish. I had a gunsmith fit an 18 twist Green Mountain barrel.
