It looks like Lee is not currently making any special order dies so I am looking for the following collet dies.

.284 Winchester
.250 Savage

If you happen to have one of these unicorns and are willing to part with it let me know.

Thanks

I have a set for .250 Savage I could probably part with. Remind me if I don’t PM you tomorrow morning.

Sorry, going to have to walk that back. I assumed it couldn't be used on the AI version, but a quick Googling says it can. Good luck with your search--they're out there!

I am looking for collet neck sizing dies. Lee will normally make them for you as a special a order item, but they have temporarily suspended the service. Hopefully they start again.

I had to delete my earlier post, Lee did in fact make a collet neck die set for the 250 Savage but they discontinued them sometime over 11 years ago.

I have a possible Lee collet solution for your 250 unicorn search - PM sent.


Pursuit may be, it seems to me, perfect without possession.

If there is a second 250 savage collet available I’d be interested as well. Brittdog, if you find 2 please let me know.

Thanks

Thanks for all the responses here and in PMs. looks like I've found the savage die, and am going to try a 7-08 for the .284. I would still like to have dedicated .284 Win die if anyone has one.

CRJ, if I come across one I will send it your way.

ETA: CRJ, look for a PM

7mm-08 is too short. I use a 7x57 with a +.10 redding shell holder.
