[QUOTE="longestrange, post: 2030594, member: 75265"] Thank you very much for looking into this hunter0528, instead of just dismissing it 'out of hand'. First, the bad news: Before filling out the order form and sending in your $92, please click the 'shop online' link where you will find this statement (Their upper case, not mine): 'AFTER 70 YEARS OF MAKING SPECIAL AND CUSTOM DIES, THE BEAN COUNTERS AT VISTA (RCBS) HAVE DECIDED TO DISCONTINUE MOST (95%) OF THE ITEMS THE SPECIAL ORDERS/CUSTOM DEPARTMENT MADE. Including the 58260, unfortunately. Now for the good news: swamplord, over the last 10 posts or so, has detailed a method using a standard .340 weatherby sizing die as well as some kind of .375 die to do the same thing, along with actual examples. Others have chimed in as well. Assuming you have a 340 Wby die, which you will need to reload 340 anyway, you will need some kind of .375 die to enable the cases to feed into it. Twenty bucks or so should do it. Be warned, however, that SAAMI pressure specs for the 375 are about .8% less than for the 340 Wby. You can read the discussion above and judge for yourself. That is a great elk, BTW. Am assuming you didn't get it in the peoples republik of MA ;) [/QUOTE]
