How much? PM me some more details if you please. Barrel length, load development, weight etc.

How did the 9.3 dies go ??

Yeah I was looking at those, and also the Sauer 101's, in fact I had my heart set on the Mauser, but I saw a Sauer 101 in H&F and was less than impressed unfortunately. From what I saw online I considered the Sauer and Mauser to be of similar quality so until I can get my hands on one I will widen my net just in case

Got the dies thanks, they actually work fairly well with a bolt popped on top of the seating die with the expander out to size the outside of the neck first like you suggested. Then use the expander in another step after. I found another stockist of 9.3x57 dies who have shipped them already so I will drop your off with Chaz soon. Thanks heaps, its been a great help.
