I bought some of his action wrenches and a barrel vice and they are great bits of gear. Its simular to the shadetree dies that were available, i do have most of a set of those as its missing 1 bushing. I sent Paul an email to see what he is up to.

Ned, I have no idea on price, but he also does a neat little case web sizer that doesn't touch anything but the web. Check out some of his other U-tube clips. :D

I like to play with wildcats because I can. Sure I might get some more fps from the nearest factory offering but I'm not enough of a wanker to think I have discover the next ppc.

BUT

I have a couple of ideas that were lying dormant around shortening a couple of cases............

farrrrkkk

Seddo don't buy them, you are too close to me

As far as my dies go for sizing , my dies are better built and I probably have more time in them with better material than the ones Skip Otto produced years ago. My shoulder angle is 30 degree, but I have a radiused infeed into and out of the bushing which helps brass flow for sizing. My dies are all tool Steel and all hardened and black oxide finished for protection here locally. I then do the final Polish on them by hand to bring the surface to a 15 micron finish. You won't find a nicer forming die set. You mentioned the PPCs, and the CHeetah and Creedmoor. All my insert bushing are built to fit an entire line of die bodies so the best way for me to help you with your needs is to sell you a standard PPC die set with inserts down to .22 Cal for. The regular price of $150 then the extra 2 inserts for .20 and .17 Cal at $15 each. After that, I can set you up with the .308/BR die body for $60. That total would be $240 and you could do anything with .308,BR, .30-06,PPC, and Grendel cases. The only addition I might mention at this point, is a .221/.222/.223 die body for $60. That would up your game to those cartridges.

The short answer is $300usd.

Bad luck, they are on the cards. Luke liked the idea of the ring die as well. I've had the shadetree dies for years, they havene made me go silly on wildcats. I do with i had these dies when i was playing aroudn with rimmed cased for the martini. The 221 Rimmed was easy enough to form but i never managed to get a decent 17FB rimmed.
