    WTB 9.3 x 72 R dies

    Wondering if anyone has a set of 9.3 x 72 R dies that they would be willing to sell? I have looked in all the usual places to buy new and no one has any in stock. Also some brass would be great as well.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Buffalo Arms shows CH4D 9.3x72R (360) in stock. It is what i bought to modify for my 9.3x57r

    I see Buffalo Arms has 9.3x72R (360). I called Buffalo Arms and asked the difference ( between 9.3x72R and 9.3x72R (360) and they didn't know. The guy said there is a difference but not sure what it is. Does anyone here know by chance?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Found mine on fleabay, about $60 IIRC. RCBS would make them, but the price was gonna approach $200, delivery time unknown but probably long. Keep looking, there are a few sets out there somewhere. Meanwhile, S&B makes new ammo, with nice boxer primed cases. You can shoot it for the brass while hunting for dies.

    If you are loading projectiles that are .365 then they should work. That's what i use. I cut about a half inch off the base so i could use them on the 57 mm cases and i am able to load both cast and jacketed with them/

    Some 9.3x72r barrels have .360 bores instead of .366 This is fairly common with older German drillings

    Darn, I guess the dies that are available will not work for me. According to Buffalo arms the wait is up to two years on some dies. Hopefully I can find used.

    Contact CH4D, they can advise what the difference is.
