Make a Ring Die - Die Hardness?

How hard would it be to cut an RCBS die down?

I don't have easy access to a lathe or band saw. Would a carbide blade on a Sawzall do it? I could sacrifice a couple of junk lock rings as a blade guide.

Your best bet is to find someone with a lathe that will make it for you.
It might not need to be very precise but I wouldn't be confident in such a rough cut. I think it will take carbide tooling.
