custom dies

[yorketransport]

Have any of you had a set of custom dies made without sending in a couple pieces of fired brass? It seems like the die maker could get all the necesary info from the reamer print.

Maybe I should just order a die reamer with the finish reamer. It wold cost about the same and probably be done quicker.

PTG is having a special right now on a reamer and die set:

Thanks Apache! PTG is the one making my reamer and headspace guage for me, so maybe I'll just add this to the order.

How difficult is it to make the die? I assume that anyone with a lathe should be able to cut and thread the die without much trouble?

I have made a few dies before, they aren't to hard to do they just take time.
