H&I dies in off sizes

[stuffit]

Looking for a good source of H&I dies for the Lyman 450, not currently being offered by Lyman or RCBS.   All references will be most appreciated.

Other than the usual advice of looking around, ebay,etc.  I have had dies honed out by a gunsmith to a slightly larger size.  If it is too much, a new punch (Whatever you call the thing in the middle that goes up& down?) would have to be made.

As for top punches, I now have about 6 or 8.  I don't get new ones, 'cause i can usually find one that will "do".

 Check Buffalo Arms they often list odd size dies.I have bought from them in the past.It saves having to special order. Good luck, Jeff taylor.

There is a gentleman that goes by the handle of "Buckshot" who is on the castbullets@gunloads web site. He makes H&I dies in oddball sizes. I have two so far done by him. One is a .380 for the 375 win big boar, and the other is a .462 for a ruger #1 in 45/70. Prices are very reasonable. You might want to get in touch with him regarding your needs. Frank

Thanks for the responses.  I'll investigate these options for the dies.

Stuffit give Stillwell a call, If I need a special die he makes it for me.
If you have a die you want to change he will do it.
