Machining a size die
« on: May 17, 2011, 02:54:13 AM »
I believe I saw some place where someone was machining a standard sizing die to accept bushings to make the die into a bushing die. I have one I would like to have converted from full length size die to a full length bushing die. If anyone knows who does this work please let me know. Thank you olddudeone

I am sure it could be done.  Unless it is for a custom cartridge I would expect price and delivery to favor a ready-made bushing die from any of the die major makers.

Info has been found Thanks all.
My goal was to take an existing FL 243 Win die that I have and convert it to accept bushings to neck size both my 243 Win and my 260 Remington
