**I have been told that the Set back dies were made by Paul Bike not Butch Lambert. I have PM in to Butch to verify. Will let everyone know as soon as I find out. Could be either on as my memory is NOT what it used to be
Sorry for any confusion**

Dies were made by Paul Becigneul pbike257. I can PM contact email to anyone who needs it. My apologies to Butch, don't know how I got confused

Read a thread on another forum and figured the folks here would like it as well. 30/30 based wildcats are perfect for the Contender format. Here are some. In the first photo case on left is based on 225 Win and the rest are 30/30 based. Second photo shows 25 Bullberry, 7/30 Waters IMP and 30/30 Ackley IMP that are 30/30 based. Third picture shows 219 Zipper and 219 Donaldson Wasp. Fourth picture 6mm BB IMP & 6.5mm BB IMP . Feel free to add your favorite

Dies were made by Paul Becigneul pbike257. I can PM contact email to anyone who needs it. But I will share this with you. If you are going to form ANY 30/30 based Wildcats, you NEED one of these. 30/30 based set back die set (SEE PICTURE) . Butch makes them and they are a Lifesaver. I can form any 30/30 based wildcat down to 17 caliber, any length, with virtually NO wasted cases. I LOVE IT The quality is Superb. Buy one and you will wonder how you ever lived without it. All you need is the final full size die for your cartridge to finish the last step of forming.

Thanks for posting. Didn’t know those were out there. Does he make them for any other cartridges? 308?

He makes them for .223 rem based cartridges. I think he can make any body die you need. May take a little longer. I THINK the insets work in any die body he makes but not sure. I was going to buy a 223 rem set and he said I could use the inserts I had. Was going to use for 20 TAC and 20 VarTarg but don't need the for that. I think the 17 and 20 bushing I added extra, but the rest came with the set
