    You might get to 300 ???
    I believe I have some 280gr and 290gr made by BT with a CH4D die.
    I could probably be convinced to look for them and send you some.

    Yes, and once it hurts them, a trouble shared is a trouble halved. I suspect that that is in the marriage vows somewhere.

    I bought some reloading dies from CH4 recently, and found them snowed under with work because of the run on firearms products. Not that America was queuing up to lay in .500/.450 Westley Richards No. 1 Express dies, surely, so it must have been the machine time. They promised a 4-5 month delivery time, kept to it, and gave me a lot of personal attention.

    They did a run/are still doing a run of them, as was covered in another thread it was by word of mouth and you had to call to place your order.
