So compared to say redding?
I have 2 sets in 300 Blaser Mag and 22-243 and both have performed well.
I have a set in 9.3X54R and they are really nice.
I will likely order another set in .43 Spanish.
They do alot of obsolete calibers,their customer support and shipping were first class,from memory my dies came within a week.
Thanks Double shot, and Norsk
What about Neil Jones dies, has anyone experience with these.
I dislike Redding standard dies, prefer Hornady, my favourite dies are Redding FL bushing with standard seater including VLD microseater.Quote:

Re CH4D dies, I purchased a set for 338 whisper 33 months ago and went to use them for the first time 3 weeks ago.
Turned out they had sent the wrong seating die (8mm Lebel Revolver) so I sent an email to order the correct one.
Got an email back within an hour apologizing for the mistake and they would send another if I would cover postage.
For $15NZ I was :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: especially due to the time frame involved.
No proof of mistake requested either!
Arrived in 2 weeks.
Thanks Fireflite, sounds great service.
Had a set for the 375WSM I used to have, Worked as advertised. Delivery was quick too
Not personally a mate has a set in .222 very nice but very expensive, my .222 Redding FL S die setup loads ammo just as accurateQuote:

I'm just having difficulty getting anything for the 6.5 06 out of brownells as it's all on back order, sinclairs don't have what I want. midway do but won't send, so looking for alternatives
Tentman has generously loaned me a set in the mean time.

N0 I haven't mate. thanks I'll see what they have/can do
CH4d has them in stock got an email this morning 105 plus 41us to ship.
Just checked , it seems unless I'm looking in the wrong place all die sets are 'Out of Stock"
Check Australia a mate got a set of CH4d 9.3x57 from some outfit over there.
I can bring you back sum from Canada if need be, I bring them to the big bore shoot or post if your in a rush.
Hornardy $79
redding $139 Cad, both in stock at prophet river firearms, Alberta, Canada.
Thanks ShooterNZ
Southernman, very generous offer, thanks
I'll be in contact by Pm either later tonight or tomorrow, again, cheers.
I'm sorted either way now Gentlemen, thanks everyone for suggestions and input, much appreciated.
how is the 6.5 06 going what setup do you have
It's not going yet have all the bits, action, barrel , brass etc, organizing my own dies so I can give Tentman his back soonest
Will be.
Remington 1990 made BDL action with spiral fluted bolt
Bartlein barrel 1-8, 24"
Glass bedded into a Bell and Carlson Black Flecked Green base Alaskan 11 stock
Nightforce rail
Scope, will start with a Nightforce SHV 4-14x50 F1 with the Mil-RTM reticle and see how that goes before changing it.
The intention is to have it Cerakoted it into as near blued, carbon black etc as I can but will look at other combinations, have to talk to some people about this yet. Open to suggestions about the colour.
Sounds good what will you use it for hunting or targets ive been toying with the idea as well got a ruger american in 3006 to use as the base to build one off its been pillar bedded into a boyds stock
It will be used for gong shooting and long rang Wallaby culling.
I don't know much about the Ruger American, nothing in fact but from what I've read it seems it would be a sound base to build an accurate custom off.
