Custom seating dies

Post by Coltsmoke »

Who will make a custom seating die for a .45? Anyone use a Mecham seating die?

Shiloh use to sell one they made with their chambering reamer used for the riles.-Don't see it in the catalog now.
Be worth a call to'em on Monday.

I use a Redding competition seating die for my rifles. I have one for the 2.1, 2.4, and only BACO sold long ago for the 2.6.

You can talk to Redding & CH4D. Both make custom dies. Last I spoke to CH4D he was at least 6-mon behind. Would guess that Redding is similar.

But, you could try Whidden Gunworks in Nashville, Jorga and keep your business near home. http://www.whiddengunworks.com/contact-us/
Am using one of his dies for high-power and they are top quality.

I'll stick with the Redding Competition seater. No need to bell the brass. Paul Jones used to sell this seater with a custom nose that matched your bullet, so you had a true alignment......................
