Re: 408 CHEY TAC DIES
In the process of developing my .408 loading setup, I settled on two important dies (along with the standard FL sizer): CH4D's Large Bushing Neck Sizer and Straight Line Seater. The Neck Sizer will give you consistent neck tension without working the brass too much (usually good for 2-3 neck sizings before one full length size to reset). The Straight Line Seater Die pretty much solved my runout issues.
Lawton dies are also highly recommended.

Re: 408 CHEY TAC DIES
Are 408 dies the (50 cal size) 1-1.4" dies or the standard 7/8 by 14 dies?
What press do you guys suggest for 408
THX, just beginning to load 408

Re: 408 CHEY TAC DIES
A RCBS will work if you remove the adaptor in the top. A redding big boss will also work. The dies are 1.25-12.

Re: 408 CHEY TAC DIES
Yup, I use an Ammomaster 2 with the bushing removed. From there I have different sized bushings for different .408 dies. My neck sizer happens to be 1" but the other dies are 1.25" - it depends on what their machinery is set to when they're making a run

Re: 408 CHEY TAC DIES
CH4d has adapters for one inch, inch 1/4 and 50 bmg size so you can use anyones dies.

Re: 408 CHEY TAC DIES
I received a phone message this PM requesting info on shipping & payment so 3 weeks from receipt of brass. Call indicated they were ready to ship so 4 weeks if they do ship in next few days, still fast. I have no doubt in respect to quality from Lawton.

Re: 408 CHEY TAC DIES
The brass was to check if the dies i had worked. And yes our dies will work the EDM chambers are compatable.

Re: 408 CHEY TAC DIES
I also have some BR size dies for the tight chambered 408's as well.
