[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 1267385, member: 2460"] The first sets of dies are being built for the 375 Mercenary. First step annealing the solid stock 1.5" diameter and 6" long. solid stock was brought up to 1700 deg then slowly brought to 1400 deg. and held for 2 hours. then slowly dropped down over a 12 hour period. The dies will be color case hardened after done, will be nice looking and have blues, golds and grays in color just like the old winchesters and colts are... Finished dies will be 1 1/4-12 to fit presses that accept that size by removing the press top bushing and installing dies in directly, presses with at least 4" clearance from top of shell holder.... such as the RCBS Supreme Rock Chucker, Redding Ultra Mag and Big Boss ll and similar, the RCBS Ammomaster ll press can also be used with these dies by installing the 1 1/2-12 x 1 1/4-12 press top bushing available from CH4D, see attached pic of item highlighted in red.......
