For anyone that might have an AR15 upper chambered for .458 Socom, we are putting together a group buy on Dies.
We previously had a group buy on uppers, brass, and dies. However the dies we ended up getting proved to be unsatisfactory. A good friend of mine, Pahrumpcaveman, has put this together with the help of Marty at http://www.teppojutsu.com/ who provided the drawings and specs on the cartridge.
The dies are going to be manufactured by Lee. The setup is going to include a sizing die, an expander die, a bullet seating die, two bullet seating stems, a factory crimp die, and a shellholder. If we can get 25 sets sold, the cost is going to be $42 plus shipping. Mike (Pahrumpcaveman) is going to be handling the whole affair. His E-Mail address is [email protected]

We want to get moving on this ASAP. If you want a set of dies, please contact Mike ASAP. Mike is not making anything on this, he just stepped up to the plate to fill a void for those of us who own the uppers and need a good set of dies. This will take some work on his part which he is doing voluntarily.
