KAL-MAX Case Stretching Jig ?

Hi guys, I want to lengthen .303 Brit cases to load some .375EX 2 1/2in & a .405 type cartridge I have a barrel for, it is .400 British right now (straight blown out .303- might be like 40/60 Maynard) & I'm going to lenghten the chamber to .405 Win or close .

Any way I think the KAL-MAX case stretcher is the way to go & them being Canadian they might send to me in New Zealand as the US won't even send us a photo of a firearms now days !

I have sent many emails to the KAL site with no reply then sent emails to C Maxwell the guy inventing/making them all with no reply, can any one say if they are still operating or doing business now days ?

Thank you for any reply's

Howdy, I contacted them a bit ago via phone. Their case stretching tool looks incredible!!! I've used some of their other products and will give them rave reviews. Try this email for them.

He used to post on here. Red River Rick I believe? I've bought mold handles from him before but it's been a while.

Charlie Died a few years ago, and Rick is a little under the weather right now.

Oh crikey that is terrible, I sent Charlie emails also, makes sense & what I was fearing a little, those were the same emails I had been trying to no avail !

Thank you for the help guys.

So I need to find a second hand one for sale then ?

Rick posted on Shiloh forum that he is back and well.

Is there any alternative to the Kal-Max unit?

I have a backorder w/ Starline that's 18 months old waiting for some 38-55 long brass, and just need 40 or so cases to try out a brand new rifle till and if Starline come through w/ my order. So I am looking for a less expensive alternative. Anyone got an idea or two? Thanks in advance for your input!
