Groups & Pricing

Most manufacturers divide their dies into groups. This is an indication of the size of the dies as well as the catridge, the cost to manufacture the dies, and the number of dies in a die set.

• Groups A through J are 7/8"-14 thread. Virtually all reloading presses today use this thread.
• Groups K and L are 1"-14 thread and must be used with an adapter bushing in a press having a removable bushing in the press head.
• Group M are 1 1/4"-12 thread which fit most larger "C" and "O" presses with the top bushing removed. This group is our entire shotgun line. We also have a good selection of these dies in 1 1/4"-18 for use in our Champion Press.
• Group N is 1 1/4"-12 thread which fit most larger "C" and "O" presses with the top bushing removed.
• Groups O through U are 1 1/2"-12 thread which fit most 50 BMG loading presses.
• Groups V and W are 2"-12 thread and fit our Rock Crusher Press with a 2" top bushing.
• Groups X and Y are 2 3/4"-12 thread and fit our Rock Crusher Press.

• Groups A through L are for use with shell holders or shell plates having the industry standard depth of 0.125". (Except 1873 Maynard calibers)
• Groups M and N can use a variety of shell holder types.
• Groups O through Y are for use with threaded shell holders with a standard depth of 0.250".

Custom dies are available in any caliber. If you don't see your caliber listed or require special dimensions, send 2 fired case, a chamber cast, or a chamber drawing. We will then assign a group price and inform you of any additional tooling or setup charges.

We have a large inventory of reloading dies but we can't stock everything. Our current manufacturing time for out of stock dies and special orders is usually around 1 year.

• Prices shown are for dies made to our standard dimensions.
• Anything made to special/custom dimensions is a special order and is subject to a $100 setup fee and 50% desposit.
• Many calibers in our list are very rare and not commonly stocked. These calibers are considered special orders and subject to a $100 setup fee and 50% deposit.
