I am interested in building a 25 creedmoor. Does anyone make custom dies?
You can buy Stock 25 Creedmoor Dies from Retailers. You can also order Custom Dies from Whidden and maybe Redding.I am interested in building a 25 creedmoor. Does anyone make custom dies?
I have not found any dies for 25 Creedmoor...so thought i would look for Custom.You can buy Stock 25 Creedmoor Dies from Retailers. You can also order Custom Dies from Whidden and maybe Redding.
Why would you want Custom when you can get 25 Creed Dies?
I am trying to find some manufactures for you.I have not found any dies for 25 Creedmoor...so thought i would look for Custom.
That is strange. There is 25 Creedmoor BRASS

Yes! You build your dummy round; most die makers will make custom dies. For my first one, I had John Whidden custom-built all my reloading dies for my Wildcat, including the hydraulic forming dies.I have not found any dies for 25 Creedmoor...so thought i would look for Custom.
PRS world has several top shooters using 25 now as alternative to 6 and 6.5. Chasing the balance between low recoil, cutting wind, and splash on target for corrections. The 130+ grain projectiles are the key. 25 Creedmoor obvious choice as "easy" since initially using 6/6.5 Creedmoor brass but as now 25 Creedmoor brass available. Some are also trying to use 25 GT and 25x47 for reduced powder capacity brass. Most using a 6.5 parent sizing die with appropriate bushing for 25.That is strange. There is 25 Creedmoor BRASS but no dies to find.
I think if we ever build the 1/4 bore will go with a 25 Souper or 25-284. Use the Match FL Bushing Dies from a .26Rem or Match FL Bushing 6.5-284 and fire form .260 Lapua & 6.5-284 Lapua Brass.
Was not really looking to build for ourselves but for hunters. Have 1,500 133gr & 135 gr Bergers and a several batches of Sierras, Nosler in the 80-100gr range. Should be a HELL of a Deer, Speed Goat, Goat Cartridge. I think will sell from the Pachmayer butt recoil pad to the Brake and from the TT Diamond Trigger to the MPA Mounts and a NF or Razor GenI II HD. Will also include Lapua Brass, Berger Bullets, Match FL Bushing and micro seater Dies. You just need to get primer and bullets (that we control right and may help with that soon.
My first thought when we picked up 14001K of 153gr & 135gr Bergers another 500 or so it would be a good target and gamer cartridge. since the Blackjack went away. Now my dilemma was what cartr9dge??? i could easily use the .260 FL Bushing Lapua and the 6.5 -284 FL Bushing Lapua brass with a little fireforming.
I have been told that if for PRS Thy would all use the 25 Creed due to Brass they still have to fireform in some fashion. and We can run Lapua in a 25 Super which is a little faster that the Creed and the 25-284 knock it out of the park.
We may build two, one for comp/hunting and one for Hunting.
The sky is the limit when trying out new cartridges.
