[QUOTE="WRG, post: 284208, member: 13638"] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]I think Buffalobob it talking about Larry Willis @ Innovative Technologies and if he is, Larry is still taking orders for the next production run. Who knows when that will be! The sizer die that he offers allows the case to be sized up to the belt where all other dies stop just short the belt.
