I bent the shaft that holds the expander plug and decapping pen for my 30-06 FL sizing die. These dies were made by Pacific Tool Company of Grand Island, NE about 40 years ago. I can't find them on the web, etc.

Is Pacific defunct? Did another company pick up the line? Does anyone know where I can get a new stem that will fit these dies?

It wouldn't break the bank to buy a new set for my '06 or at least the resizing die. I just thought I could save some $$$ by replacing the part that is damaged.

Any information, insights, or suggestions are appreciated.

Check with Hornady - believe they took over the old Pacific tools and dies. 1 (800) 338-3220

Yes, call Hornady. The Hornady's bought Pacific and moved it from California in the early 70s. So, your dies are 20-30 years old, taking into account the Nebraska address.

In the early 80s, the Hornady's combined Pacific and their Frontier ammo company to form what we know today as Hornady.

worse comes to worse, check ebay, 06 dies are pretty common and relatively inexpensive

Absolutely..........I just won a bid on ebay for a set of -06 dies for the grand total with shipping of less than $15
