Does anyone know if Detsch is still making dies? If so anyone have any idea the approx cost for a full set of flat base dies?
Anyone have any contact info like email? Or is he a phone only guy?
Thanks

I would recommend joining the Saubier.com forum and asking there. IIRC, he is or was a member there at one time. I recall contacting him about a set of dies, and he was getting $2K for a set of carbide dies at that time. That's been 8-10 years, probably.

Dave is still making dies; I used a set of his dies this morning, actually. He is doing business as Detsch Custom Bullet Dies. You can get contact info if you do a search for that business. A set of carbide dies is typically $2,000 +, cash. Yes, he is telephone only. Unlike some other custom die makers he is pretty prompt with his delivery times and does superb work. He also supports his product if there is a problem. Depending on what you are looking for you might keep an eye on E-Bay. His stuff comes up now and then. . . .
