HI all I am new to this site, and I am asking for info for a friend who got a custom made gun from his grampaw it is a 30 cal with a necked down 375H&H case he got 40 loaded rounds and reloading equitment but did not get dies.
where would be a good place to get dies made for gun like this?

thanks
 
That could be anything from a 300 H&H to whatever 30 Magnum. Send 3 fired cases to any of the die makers and they will oblige you.
 
Maybe. I sent 3 fired cases off to one of the major die makers that supposedly does custom dies, and was given a 6 month completion date. Nine months later, no dies, no word, so I called and was told they'd call back. After being ignored/blown off three or four times I got ahold of Neil Jones who turned out a die within his stated time frame. It cost more, but I had the pleasure of doing business with a gentleman of his word. Nice work too.

I am currently going through the same thing with two friend. Thier Dad was a 1000 yd shooter at Williamsport PA. In thier day these guns were competitive. They have not been shot in 20 plus years. After Pop died these guys want to shoot,re-commission these guns. Pop put them up well. No rust etc. All I had to do was give them a super cleaning. We have loaded ammo for both guns that the local expert said will be ok to shoot but that the necks will probally split. No more brass! He suggested bore scoping the guns to see if going any further than shootin' up Pop's stuff in his memory was a good idea. In this case we have dies but no reamer. If the barrels are toast ....?
Perhaps checking the throats to check on bbl life is a good idea? Good Luck
