Herret dies?
« on: March 24, 2003, 11:37:33 AM »
Do any manufacturers make neck sizing dies for the 30 Herret or 357 Herret? Or am I stuck with full length resizing?

You could get some bushing neck sizing dies for the 30 or 35 BR, and simply use various bushings to size as you please.

Just back off your sizing die about the thickness of a nickle from the shell holder. This will keep you off of the shoulder and you'll be good to go.

you can get a neck sizer from redding. I was using a 30/30 neck sizing die and it worked well. hornady and rcbs will custom make a neck sizing die for you for about $20 or so

I just purchased the Hornady 30 cal short neck die for my 30 herrett and it works great.  Minimal lube and effort needed.  Not sure how many shots you can go before you have to full-length though.  Inexpensive, too, under 20 $

Lyman Dies

I have a set of lyman dies that i got when i purchased my used contender. The lyman dies that i have ( am not sure if this is original) are in a three die set. There is a fl die, ns die, and a seater. The neck sizer is nothing more than a 30 caliber rile plug sizer. I looked at lyman's site but they do not list this set any longer.
