Title: Unobtainium loading die set
Post by: Greasemonkey on October 31, 2024, 05:03:40 AM
Finally.... after more than 5 years.. banana time. 

I acquired the... almost impossible to find die set. The 7.62x45 Czech custom made by Lee, full length case sizing and bullet seater with the correct shell holder and scoop. RCBS made a very, very limited run years ago, CH4D makes them as custom and both Lee and CH4D are serious money for them, Lee charges a $250 setup fee alone for custom sets, plus varying unknown amounts of lead time. These popped up on Ebay.. and I nailed them for just under $120 shipped.  I get to experiment forming cases out of 6.5 Carcano and .35 Remington now, and not use the surplus ammo I have remaining.

Nice!

I saw a set advertised for $100 several years ago.  I didn't jump on it because I don't have a VZ52, but damn, I should have..... cry1

Buffalo Arms has the CH4D set listed, add your email for a back in stock notification, well it's been 3 years and silence.  chuckles1
