Hi everyone,
Marshall and I have been discussing offering some custom "M" expanders and such. I've got a lathe and time on my hands, he's got this great web site and people who like to reload. Some of you may have seen the tech note "M-Proving Lyman's M-die" (or whatever the title was), which I wrote. Anyway, I knocked out an M-type expander in .338 just for a fun project and it works great.
I've seen several posts in the past where people were looking for .416 "M" expanders and other oddball diameters that aren't offered by Lyman. Also, one or two inquiries where someone had a cartridge case that would not fit into a standard "M" die body (which are about 0.520").
So.... if anyone is interested in custom diameters, send me a private message, or feel free to post right here. We are trying to gage the level of interest in such an offering. I should also be able to turn out an "M" die body with a larger internal diameter, or, bore out one of the Lyman die bodies.
Any other 'goodies' that people are interested in, speak up, who knows what we might be able to come up with. No intention to compete with the mass products (some of which are very good), just put custom work in the reach of ordinary reloaders like yourselves.
Your thoughts....?
