[QUOTE="Crockett12, post: 3078426, member: 35100"] I paid over $800.00 for my .338 dies when I bought them new -- but it also depends on what style of bullets you want to make! Some bullet styles require more dies than other styles. If you want to make soft point boat tails, it'll take more dies than if you only make flat base hollow points! I can make flat base soft points with my dies, which needs one more die than making flat base hollow points! Also -- I don't know anything about the quality of dies made by anyone other than Corbin, but when I was younger I worked in a forging business as a finish grinder operator and a close tolerance back then was 1/2 thousandth. The dies I bought from Corbin have got to have an immeasurable tolerance because they're exactly .338 in diameter! [/QUOTE]
