Hello everyone,
my name is Dan Rickard, and i'm the Owner of a new company called "Kaine Dies"
I started this company a few months ago because so many people liked my die sets, that it became obvious that I should operate under a real business.
I started making dies several years ago, and have learned much about making swage dies. I’ve made some bad dies and good dies.. The best of them became my first product. I have several other products about to hit the market as well.
Currently, I’m in full production making 224 swage die sets that produce a #6 ogive, the bullets that can be made range from weights of 45 grains to 75 grains. The types that this die set can make are hollow points, soft points, as we as Full metal jackets.
The die sets include the following,
a 22 rimfire de-rimming die, a core swage die, a core seating die, a point form die #6 ogive, and a final sizing die. The kit comes with all of the punches needed to use the dies, a quantity of swage lube to swage over 1,000 projectiles, and full instructions. The instructions are simple to read, and are very basic. There are only 5 steps to make your own projectiles.
The dies are heat treated to 54 RC, this is carbide level hardening, but NOT so hard that they will break, and hard enough to last a lifetime of swaging. The die set is designed to work with NORMAL reloading presses such as RCBS or LEE.
All dies a tested and verified to work, sample bullets are included with the die sets. The samples where made with the die set during testing and tuning.
Here are some pictures of the die set and some sample bullets.
The retail cost of a complete set is $300 + $20 shipping and handling and $26.60 Washington state tax.
Here is a price break down of each piece.
derim die $45.00
derim punch $10.00
core swage die $45.00
core swage top punch $5.00
core seating die $45.00
core seat top punch $5.00
swage die $90.00
swage top punch $5.00
swage bottom punch $10.00
sizing die $45.00
total $305.00
From experience, I am fully aware of competitor waiting times, so I’ve gone to great lengths to keeping delivery times to a bare minimum of 3-6 weeks.. Delivery may also be much sooner, as we are continually producing die sets to try and build up an inventory.
If you are interested in a set of dies, feel free to contact me directly via email or pm here..
Thank you,
