    Custom lube sizer dies

    Anyone make custom lube sizer dies and what's the average wait time and price ? Love my NOE system fot the price and flexibility but I have two lube sizer presses sitting around and kinda wanna play with them.

    Member Lathesmith used to make custom dies, but he has stopped doing so some time ago. Not sure if anyone else does or not.

    Track of the Wolf usually has custom sizers pre-made in the most popular "over-diameter" regime.

    Ammohead has most of Buckshot's die specific tooling . His dies are accurate in both push through and H&I types .

    I think they were $25 & actual shipping mine were in a sfrb and about 10 days I think.

    .272 , 1 each .

    Buffalo Arms has them. Delivery time depends on what's in stock.

    I found these guys in my search for a .268 H&I die. Price seems reasonable but I have had the chance to order one yet.

    S&S Firearms advertises custom size lube sizer dies up to .600 in diameter. Their website says they stock common sizes and that uncommon sizes take 10-14 days.

    Does this mean you have or make dies? You have questions? Contact with print, you want someone to write to you? Very confusing.
