Custom Loading Dies for an Improved Cartridge?

[ismith]

Anyone have a custom loading die set made for a wildcat? I'm trying to decide if a custom die set is worth it. Going to be loading a 220 Imp Swift and I might be able to get away with neck resizing only.

Dies are a very small expense compared to the overall project, especially if you shoot it. I’d never plan to just get by on anything worthwhile.

Whidden used to be a good source for them but they recently quit taking custom orders, don't know why. They were not too bad, about $400 per as I recall.

Neil Jones is one of the more well known guys out there still doing custom dies, not cheap but he's your guy if you have the $.

I had Redding make a couple sets for me, but it’s been some time since then. As I recall I paid $200.00 for the Jarrett dies.

Wow!!!

$254 for a set of dies is about 5X the amount that I would pay!

I got some old Pacific dies for 7mm-08 Imp 40° at an auction for $15.
Maybe it was a flea market...

I KNOW I didn't spend more than $15 on them.

Keep looking! They are out there!!
