I can certainly offer a set of my dies. I have a couple of my heavy duty CH 45 cal die sets left. Is the 454 casull .451?

bryan: i was gonna ask about those when i ordered the 308 set and plain forgot.

CH makes a 2 step die set that BT modifies to convert 40 brass to 45. I had him polish mine out to .452 and they've shown some promise in the 450 bushmaster.

I plan on loading them in the 454 as well but just haven't gotten to it yet. Too many projects, so little time.......

.452 is what I'm looking for. I have a set of BT's 44 dies and I am very satisfied with them. The cost of jacketed bullets is unbelievable today and these dies offer a very unique alternative. BT, if you could fit me a .452 die let me know and I will send you the payment.

Sure .452 would work but generally .451 for jacketed and .452 for cast.
