That really isn`t that bad of a price for a "custom" sizing die these days. I wonder how much of an arm and a leg Lyman or RCBS would charge?Robert

I never looked before, but were they less recently? Quite a hike up in price?

Does someone here make them; I think I've heard so. If so, are they similarly priced?

I think I need a custom one for my mosin; it slugged at .3145. I bought a .316 mold (haven't used it yet). I like the idea of the Lee sizing system, but want to use my 4500 for lubing them... so may need one of each.

But I didn't know Lee does special orders, so thank you for sharing!! -Brad

Buckshot makes them. Give him the size you need and you're gauranteed to get it. The ones I have from him are better than the Lee's, IMO, and competitively priced compared to a Lee custom.

I was told by LEE today it would cost $10 to modify a 303 british die to 303 EPP's dimension's.
Sound's like a good deal to me.

Lathesmith's Star dies are the same price, his work is top notch.

I just got two from Buckshot for my Lyman sizer. These were custom sizes,,, Not factory produced sizes,,, .460 and .432

They are perfect and were $30 each.

He does nice work, but he doesn't do common factory sizes, which you can just buy from Midway.
