Cartridges over the maximum in any of the three parameters will probably fit into the Large Series Die. These have a 1 1/4x12 thread, so your press must be capable of accepting this thread size. The only press we manufacture that can accept the Large Series Dies is our Classic Cast Press.
Note: If you are using a competitor's press with removable bushing, consider our 1 1/2-12 to 1 1/4-12 die adapter bushing. This bushing will allow you to install these dies into your press.
Large Series dimensions are:
Case diameter at base .563" to .640" (minimum - maximum)
Case Length over 2.850"
Bullet diameter .501" to .600" (minimum - maximum)
Current lead time is 8 weeks and begins once payment AND the required dummy round is received. Please be aware that any other products ordered at the same time as a Custom item(s) will not be shipped until the item(s) is complete.
