44-77 Dies

[Don McDowell]

John the Lee 43 mauser dies work well, only need to add a compression die to compress the powder.

Another vote here for CH-4D dies. I obtained their three die set ( 44/77 Shiloh ) and later purchased a bushing neck sizer with an assortment of bushings. I have used the full length sizer perhaps 3-4 times when forming some 45 Norma cases and it worked a treat but otherwise it doesnt get used. The bushing die works well and it has just the barest amount of play when screwed up and this allows it to centre on the cartridge neck rather than drag it off to one side. As I'm predominantly shooting gg.. I've settled on .462 as there is a little too much spring back when using the .464". A .443/.444 expander means little or no additional working of the inside of the necks. I've actually ordered a tapered expander to see if that removes what little drag there is on the inside. Good products, reasonably priced and great to deal with. hth.
