Peterson’s responce:
“Thank you for the inquiry for the 225 win brass. I have added it to the requested calibers list that I keep track of. As of now we do not have plans for the 225 win brass due to a large amount of other calibers currently in development as well as a high volume of orders for the calibers we already produce. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”
Please take the time to email them to show that there is a demand.

At least you got a reply from Starline. I emailed them a few years ago about .225 Winchester brass and received no reply at all.Originally Posted by BT
I ran a 357 max into a set of 300 Hammer dies and it forms perfect 300 hammer rimmed.
That is some thing MGM has, but have not heard back from them to see if my 300BO chamber would clean up with the Hamer ream. Figured it would not since I tried to order dies on my birthday sale at Midway by the time I was ready to place my order they conveniently ran out of them....Maybe saving me money in the long run LOL
Guess I better write my self a sticky and call them today... forgot to yesterday, CRS is annoying
MGM says YES !!!!
That's good to know. Thanks, Sunny!
Going on 2 months already since I received these dies. Around February 20th I finally got around to attempting to size new 225 cases and only ran 2 pieces through the full length sizer. I stopped there because of an issue with the die. It shaved brass from the outside of the neck. I have never seen this happen before. February 22nd I emailed CH to inform them and within a couple days they responded, wanting photos of the damaged brass as well as inside of the die. No problem to take pics of the brass, but inside of the die is another story.
Anyway, I took pics that same evening and sent them in another email. I fully expected the CH rep to immediately send me a prepaid shipping label and request I send the dies back to them right away. Why delay? Well, I’ve exchanged emails with them several more times since and even called them a couple weeks ago. The same guy answered the phone as I’d been emailing with, and he recognized who I was just as I began to explain my dilemma.
Here we are, March 16th, and I’m still waiting. No request to return the dies, nor even a shipping label. This has been my first experience dealing directly with CH and it’s not been a positive one. The custom dies were not inexpensive and in addition I’ve bought a custom barrel so chambered, and cannot do anything with it. Very frustrating to say the least. I can’t believe they’d leave me hanging and not make this right already.
I had this issue with a set of LEE dies I know they did not believe me until they got them back, I really dont like the C and C cut dies or chambers, in the mean time anneal just neck expand and fire form some with long bullet to the lands 140 gr, but you already knew that
I’m going to wait impatiently for them to make this right. I’ll call again within the next couple days and I will annoy them until they do make it right.
Did Lee get you fixed up?
Lee fixed the die pretty quickly I think there and back in a month, It felt like a cheese grater in side, Now smooth works like it was buttered, 30 Badger.
Even when Dave was here it was SLOW sailing with CH4D
Hate to hear that, I'm planning on ordering a set of their dies myself. Hopefully they will make it right.
I am amazed that they have handled this issue so poorly. I have been tempted to try CH but when they obviously don’t care enough to even bother to respond I will look elsewhere for my reloading needs.

It's better to shoot for the moon and hit the fencepost than to shoot for the fencepost and hit the ground!
It is not just them its everywhere in all industries, lack of man power from them and their sources as well, They do the machine work on site they buy the rod tool it then send it out for heat treating, Plus deal with us whiny butts, Hornady and Lee both have greater wait times than before Covid
I do warranty work for Minnkota, Motorguide Lowrance their suppliers are falling down quality and quantity, More prominent now than even during Covid, Of course quite a bit of the components are made in China
Busy or not, there's no excuse for this. They've had plenty of time to make things right but are choosing not to.
I sent another email today and got a response quickly. They want me to ship them back with the messed up samples of brass, my responsibility to pay for the return shipping. Nothing promised that I will end up with a properly functioning FL die in the end. So I may be looking for another set if CH doesn’t correct this issue. I’ll not be using their products again in the future, regardless.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I'm marking them off my list as well.
I sent CH another email requesting a full refund and received a check last week. I’d had enough of their runaround. Their response to my email was a bit condescending and a little surprising, really. I would not recommend doing business with them.
Ironically, I just so happened to be talking TC’s with one of our customers the same day the check was actually in my mailbox and he had a new set of Hornady 6.5 JDJ dies on his bench. I now have them and can proceed with this 4 month old project.
I began to assemble the 6.5 JDJ on a G2 frame over the weekend. The barrel came with the wrong locking bolts and would not engage the interlock, preventing the hammer from going into cocked position. An email to SSK alerting them of the issue resulted in them sending me a replacement set, which I expect will arrive next week.
Last week I picked up a Leupold VX-1 4-12 and today I ordered rings. I’d forgotten about a Boyds walnut butt stock I obtained a few years back until I started digging around. If I remember correctly, the length of pull is a smidge longer than what originally came on the G2 and matches the factory forend pretty well. I’m finally getting closer to moving forward with load development.
