I am in the process of building a wildcat rifle. Wildcat enough that I can not find dies for it. I am trying to build a 224 TTH. This is the 22-6mm with a 4 degree shoulder difference.
Anyone know where I can find some dies?

Visit Redding's website?
They are not showing any. And, they are not doing custom dies at this time.
Does Lee do custom dies?
If you build a 22-6mm Hornady sells the dies and even have it in their load manual. It is Lonnie Hummel (sp?) pet cartridge. Tim
Looks like Lee does. They have a $150 set up charge, $46 a set on dies and a 3 month lead time.
This is looking more and more like a 22-6mmAI build. lol
Sounds to me like a better way to go anyway. ;)Quote:

I hear ya. Call it the 224 TTH-AI since the 22-6mmAI is pretty much just that.
Seriously though good luck with your build, and BTW I believe Lee isn't doing any custom dies either right now.
Jack, how long ago was that? The 224 tth is not listed now as a custom they can makeQuote:

RCBS has the 22-6mm and the 22-6mmAI. The shoulder is a little different on the 3.
224 TTH 26 degree
22-6mm 30 degree
22-06mmAI 40 degree
The 7th edition Hornady manual shows the 22-6mm with a 26º shoulder. With that in mind, you may want to try to find these: http://www.hornady.com/store/22-6mm-.224-2-Die-Set/
Good luck,
Dana
6REM has a 26 degree shoulder, TTH is nothing but a necked down 6REM.Quote:
