They don't have a manufacture so I assume they're made by the seller.

Does anyone know anything about these?

They are very similar in function to the CH dies that everyone is talking about here. I have not used them though.

Yep! I have a couple I have aquired. They are similar in bullet style to the 105 seies CH dies. They are half jacket dies. Very dificult to make a full jacket like the CH 101 dies. They are also .002 oversized for shooting gas checked lead boolits I guess. Got a 457 and it spit out .459 boolits. So again probably good for lead but not jackets. His base punches are heat treated to the point they are brittle. Broke it very early on. Now I use his 45 (as pictured above) for my .459 core seating die.

So here's what I'm looking to do. I want to bump a soft lead black powder 210 pistol bullet that drops at .452-453 to .458-.459. I'll have to do this after I run it through the lubrisizer as the die in the lubisizer is .457..not quite enough.

Do you think his

would work for that limited purpose?

I originally just bumped the bullet with no die and then sized it in the .457 lubisizer die but it looked to me that the bullet could be deformed too easily.

Let me go check the die I have see what it drops at. Pretty sure it is in fact .459. This could be just what you are looking for. His .457 or .459 die though not the 45.

Yep it is in fact a perfect .459. He sent me a .451 base punch way back when and of course it was not the correct size and broke. I did smash a piece of lead in it and it did turn out like I said right on .459. With a new base punch this would be just what you are looking for.
