[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2949385, member: 69192"] I did not purchase the dies from C&H, I got them used here on the forum. What I can tell you is that when I called them a couple of months ago I was told that they (C&H) that they were going to make a run in the early spring. Then I read on another forum or this one (?) that it is a good idea to contact CH just to make sure that they did not make a run or that there may be a set on their shelves. Also I am not certain that the seating die that comes with the set is also a crimp die. Based upon C&Hs catalog they also sell an additional die that is a crimp die. Without a crimp die and if being used in an AR platform this could be an issue. I did find a You Tube video where a guy is using a .375 Winchester Big Bore cartridge from Lee Professional Crimp die and putting to large, flat washers as spacers to seat the collet in the crimp die to get the crimp. I also read on the Raptor site on FB that Lee did make a run on them and they were available through Lee dies. Hope this helps you out. This is a good cartridge that packs a punch for a short actioned rifle, there is a lot of information out there, but you just have to go looking. I did get some load data from Maker bullets. Paul at the place went far beyond a retailer and actually gave me some load data and also gave me some direction on where to look for data. [/QUOTE]
