I agree with you that Dave could best answer my questions.
But ... The problem is that Dave doesn't get in touch with me. For quite some time.
And I'm worried. I hoped that maybe here on the forum there are those who communicate with him regularly and have some information.
Alex,
Don't be worried. When I spoke to Dave last fall, he told me they are a year out on orders at the soonest. Your dies will get completed and shipped. Just huge demand right now. I wouldn't lose a minute of sleep over it. Looks like you put in your order in August of last year. So if you get them even in a month or two you will be way ahead of schedule.

A few months ago Dave quoted me 4 months for common calibers/profiles.....
Thank you for your answers. Yes. Really - I ordered and paid for my equipment to Dave at the end of August. That is, seven months have passed since then.
Apparently I chose a not very good month and year for my order. If I knew what would happen, I would have to make my order during the Trump election. And even better - during the Obama administration. But I do not have a time machine, unfortunately))).
FYI, when you order from Dave Corbin you get an auto reply which states:
"NOTICE: We cannot ship outside the USA except to the UK and Canada. Other shipments are
blocked and returned. We MUST ship to a USA location. Our client in other countries can
arrange their own import shipping through MyUS, Meest America, or directly with DHL or
FedEx, either for pick up at our location, or we can ship to their USA forwarding point, where export
will be between you and the forwarding company. We are sorry for this new development, which is
partly caused by Covid-19 rules and partly by increased government control over any form of
reloading equipment. We simply do not have time to deal with the paperwork, licensing and regulations
imposed since the first of 2020 on exports, other than Canada and the UK (which seem to have less
problem with these exports)."

We first do something, and then, when difficulties arise, we start asking others questions and very rarely read instructions.

Excuse me for not answering. I was busy for a while. Meeting of reservists in the army. Our neighbors from the east have made up a fool of themselves.
Dave found some time for me and provided answers to all my questions. He also wrote that my order is completely ready and now we are corresponding with him to resolve the issue - how best to deliver the shipment to my country.
Congratulations to the dear visitors of this forum and this page.
I consider it necessary to write how my waiting story ended. What I wrote here earlier. I apologize for not doing this before.
Dave Corbyn is a man and an entrepreneur who fulfills his obligations. Although with a late delay than I expected, I received all the equipment I wanted to buy. And it works as well as promised. The last shipment with parts of the equipment I received in early June. Since then, I have produced more than 20+ thousand bullets in various shapes and weights. Not all of them turned out great. But this is solely my fault and lack of necessary knowledge and experience. Now with these components everything is much better))).
And so I again ordered Dave. For parts of the equipment that will produce bullets in two more calibers.
Closed.
