Is CH4D out of business?

[rwj]

Called and talked to CH4D Wednesday. They're open. My dies have another 9 months. The wait continues.

Is there something special about the dies, and/or how they’re made, that makes it worth waiting that long?

No other manufacturers currently are making form, trim, crimp, or reloading set for this cartridge. CH4D will make a set that breaks down the forming process in more than 2 steps.
I have form and trim die that I bought almost 30 years ago. This was the first experience in forming brass back then and I broke 2 presses and gave up on the project.
I've since then have started forming and learned a lot from 17 Fireball and 20 Vartarg.
With this experience I wanted to revisit this project from the past. I don't have a firearm for the cartridge so it was no big deal to have shelved this back then. But now I just would like to complete what I had started then
