    Hornady offers custom reloading 2-die sets for $150; LEE custom shop still closed

    I see that Hornady is now offering custom 2-die Full-length size diesets for $180 (i misquoted the price) now with 3 fired cases which is what Lee used to do for $150 for many years for about the same price. I just checked Lee's webpage and they still aren't accepting any custom orders.

    So, has anyone ever used Hornady's custom die service? and are they worth the price?

    Did you confirm they are taking orders? I know people who have ordered custom sets in the past. Not sure what the lead time is right now.

    I haven't confirmed with Hornady but Lee updated their webpage less than two weeks ago to confirm they still weren't taking custom die/mold orders for the foreseeable future.

    I have used Hornady for years, I have 10 . they have always gave me what I ask for. I just get the FL die and have my gunsmith make me a Wilson style seater
    with my chamber reamer. The service was far better when Lonny Hummel ran the dept though but to be honest they once were a well kept secret and then word got out. Same with John Whidden's dies. Anything 20 cal and above , Whidden makes great dies.
