[QUOTE="biednick, post: 2852810, member: 123604"] A set of 2 custom dies from Hornady starts around $200. Depending on the specifics that goes up a bit, but for most cartridges you can get their match grade bushing die set for around $260 or a standard die set for $220. It's been a while since I had a custom reamer made, but the last one I bought was around $150. Based on the price of their stock reamers I'd bet they're more expensive now. The die blanks you linked to don't include seating stems, expanders, or decapping rods. At $45 for the blank bodies and another $30 for the hardware you're looking at $70 for the blanks, putting you at around $220 for a reamer and blanks. If you have a lathe you can do it yourself and break even or save $40 over a custom bushing die. If you're paying to have it done you're losing money. [/QUOTE]
