[QUOTE="SealT5, post: 1615603, member: 94302"] All three die makers you’ve listed will make you a die based off of 3 fired cases from your rifle with a decent lead time. I’m going to recommend another option. Newlon Precision Custom die blanks. They offer both FL Bushing and seating die blanks. With the seating blank have your smith simply chamber the die with the reamer used on your barrels. This gives you a seating die matched to your chamber The FL die is short chambered approximately .004” by your smith using the same reamer. You then send it to company that will heat treat the die. After the hardening process the die shrinks giving you minimal sizing on the body and a die that creates perfect brass for your chamber. Fireball Heat Treating has a 1-2 day turn around time. If your smith headspaced the two rifles the same then you will be able to use the same die and shell holder for both rifles. If not you may need the Redding competition shellholders. Joe [/QUOTE]
