7.62x45 Loading Die Set

phoenix79 · 12-31-2007, 03:49 PM

I am in the process of purchasing a VZ52 in 7.62x45. As many of you know, this ammo is difficult to come by at best and is extremely corrosive. RCBS dies cost upwards of $130.00 for reloading, and there is only one manufacturer of brass for this cartridge but it can be made from similar cases. I am trying to get a group buy together for a 2 die set from Lee on several different boards around the net. The GB is also on gunboards.com, gunandgame.com, and others. The cost is $130setup fee + $38 for the dies themselves + $4 S&H. The $130 would be split by everyone in the group and the more people we have the cheaper it will be. I already have at least 9 people ready to go but would like more. Please PM me or send me an email at camper79 AT chattanooga DOT net or PM me here. Thanks!!!

That is a great cartridge. Is the re-loadable brass available? My buddy is thinking about a 6.5 wildcat. Rod

kinda... Buffalo arms makes it but i've heard they convert it from something else and never anneal it making it very weak. However, it is easily made from 6.5 MS if you have the dies, or so I read.
