Got a customer set of CH dies in .357. It is an older modle in good shape and I think you will all be interested to see the difference between the old version and the new.
The older version has less ogive (left) and a shorter nose while the new version (right) has a longer nose with a higher ogive S number.
Check out the pics.
If I bore the nose of the new style (right) from .218 to .250 it looks like this. I like the looks of this modification and it allows a bigger HP with a shorter nose!
If we bore the old style up to .250 (left) it would look like this. Personally I don't think we need to bore the older version up to .250. The smaller nose looks pretty good to me.
For those of you with the old style and wish to make the newer version I can certainly offer you a die. For those of you that have the current version I thought it would be fun to see what it used to look like.
Good shooting and Swage On!
