Where to buy 300 Norma Mag dies

[Mooster1223]

I'm looking for a FL bushing sizer & a mic adjustable seater. Forester has the seater but, does not offer a bushing die in this caliber. Redding has not answered my email.

What are my other options? I've done a web search with no luck. I've looked @ midway & sinclair.

Thanks.

i called sinclair and special ordered mine,i got the forster FL sizer and ultra seater for @100.If you know your chamber dimentions or send forster 3 fired rounds they will Hone the die to case spec.

Hornady also makes them but i am not sure if it is a bushing die, It would be worth a call to them.

This may work. I'm having the reamer custom made so I suppose I could send a print of the reamer off to Forester. I really like their comp seating die.

If you go with a FL die from Forster with the neck honed out to fit your custom neck, you may also want to ask Forster for their body dimensions. They only hone the neck, but you will have an opportunity with a custom reamer to make the reamer body ideal for the Forster die dimensions. This avoids the need for a true custom FL die.

The other thing to watch going this route is the neck size. The Forster die is only hardened on the surface and there is a limit to how much they can hone out. Be sure you are not going over that amount when you pull all your dimensions together.

don't forget to check with hornady, i do know they make 300 Norma Mag but not sure if it is bushing or not? maybe you can let us know for sure?

I called Forester today and asked what the neck dimensions of their FL sizer was. It 0.333". The told me they used dimensions given to them from PTG so, I called and spoke to Dave (3 times today). What a nice guy Dave is!

Dave and I decided that if I used his "neck clean up" reamer for my chamber, I'll be set to use the Forester FL die set. I felt really comfortable with Daves suggestion and ordered the reamer from him & the Forester set from Midway. I tried to get them from sinclair but, they have never stocked them so, the time line was going to be WAY too long.

Thanks for all the help guys and pointing me in the right direction. Now I need to find a good quality neck turner.
