custom die

Yup I did a search but i got to ask, I have seen 6BRA custom FL resizing dies from different places. What's the best bang for the buck? And how about lead time?

Another vote for Harrells. Fast, affordable, almost a custom fit to my chambers. He measures 3 pieces of your 3x fired brass and sends you the closest fit to your chamber minus .002 shoulder bump and it resizes the body just enough for a perfect fit without a sticky bolt after firing. I think he makes like 7 or 8 die sizes per cartridge he makes dies for so it might be off the shelf when he picks it but it’s still a custom die as far as being close to your chamber.
 
Whidden is about your only choice for price and leadtime

Last time I bought a Whidden it took 19 weeks. The die was fine, but I was glad I had a Harrell’s while I waited.

The last time I got one of their dies it was a off the shelf. I don't think they do custom?

They are technically (semi-custom) off the shelf dies, but they have numerous sizes for each caliber they offer so getting a proper fit is no problem. As @Jareds said, just send them several pieces of 3 times fired brass and they will hook you up with the die that most closely matches your chamber.

Without question, Harrell's is the best value in a precision die. A lot of BR shooters use them because they flat out work. You can spend more and get good quality elsewhere, but that won't guarantee any better results at the loading bench or on your target.
