Collet Die Set

A Custom Collet Die Set costs $50 per set which consists of the Collet neck sizing die, Dead Length bullet seating die and shellholder.  Maximum outer diameter at the base is .555 and the maximum bullet diameter is .375.  There are a few exceptions for the larger Ultra Mags and if interested in those, you may want to give us a call or send a case to determine whether or not we can make them.

Cartridges with a larger bullet diameter or base diameter than those listed above can be made in our large series dies, which have 1 1/4-12 thread.  Note that these large series dies will only fit into our Classic Cast press, and some of our competitors larger presses. Large series dies are $150 per set.  Large series dies can be made for cartridges ranging in size up to and including the 50 BMG.

If you are interested in a custom collet die set, send payment, and three fired cases from the rifle that the ammunition is to be reloaded for.  We use these cases to determine the dimensions of the dies to be made.  Please also send a couple sample bullets, so we can test the dies before shipment. 

Lead time on Collet dies is approximately 90 days depending upon our work load.
