I need a 6 Comp Match FL sizer die made. Called Dave Bruno, he usually has them in stock, said 12-14 weeks from Redding. No one else has one in stock. Any Smiths out there able to help me out? Don't really care about cost.

First thing I thought of was Forster but there web site says they aren't making custom dies anymore. Only other option I can think of would be to try LE Wilson

Thanks for the replies
Whidden Gunworks, nicest dies I've ever seen and will make any caliber
Hornaday can help you out they make custom dies, at least they did a while back. Im not sure how quick they could make it happen.
Try here for a full custom die Spencer Tool & Grind LLC | Custom Tooling and Bullet Dies for the Firearm Industry from what I have heard he does very nice dies.
Mtrmn
He built the gun but said he didn't have the right reamer to make dies
Thanks

Neil Jones in Pa made me a set of custom dies. They are great quality but, be prepared to wait.
+1 for CH4D. I have a set for a .408 cheytac and they are nice but you did say you are in need of a set rather quickly and getting a custom set made quickly is not going to happen unless they have a set of what you need already there. I think CH4D is a 3-6 month wait so the original set you ordered from redding may be the soonest you will be able to get them
What was your lead time? Everyone I have talked to or emailed is 8-10 weeks. That's if they can get a reamer from PTG.

He had the reamer to build the gun but not the reamer to cut the die?
Yes, that's what he told me. I have plenty of brass to FF, so at least I can shoot.
I had mine in 3 days after they received my brass, I was impressed!
That's good to hear. Thanks jake
Is there any difference sending once fired? Im about to send 3 from my 260
My thoughts, too. Does excellent work and quick turn-around.
You use a resize reamer for the die, it's a bit smaller in the body to squeeze past the spring in the case.
OP, have you considered using a bushing type die also, you can swap bushings and combined with neck turning, you can control neck tension very precisely.
what period turn around?
Just got my 6 Dasher dies from Whidden. They were in stock. You should at least give them a try. The ones they shipped me are damn nice.
