Can anyone help me..I am looking someone to make a 2 bore reloading die.

What outside diameter and thread pitch are you wanting?
Vice die or press die?

What hull? All brass, etc?
Which case length will you be using?
Are you only looking for a sizing die and the rest done by hand?

What final crimp if any, single shot?
Shot or slug loads?
For what gun?

I am trying to get the based where i do it as reloading tool.My cartridge length will be 3.50.What i need to know do you do it or know someone who can do it?

If you use brass hulls, and presumably one gun, you shouldn't need a resizing die. Brass is easier to turn, but the hard steel necessary to make a resizing die is more difficult. Rocky Mountain Cartridge can make custom size hulls. Gil

The vise sizing die should be straight forward,

But I still can not envision what you want made.

Regular reloading dies will not fit in any existing press.
The case diameter is about 1.40 inches so the threaded die would have to
be nearly 2 inches in diameter.

Using the Lee Loader system
As GLS says resizing should not be an issue for a single shot.

Easy to make a depriming punch
Easy to make a repriming punch,

Easy to make a wad seating punch (or just use the repriming punch.

So if you are shooting a single shot, no need to crimp
just use waterglass on the over shot card wad.

Trying to help

p.s. shot or bullet load?

Without regard to head's rim, the approximate OD of a 2 ga. is approximately 1.35 inches. RMC uses brass rods to make hulls. They might not have the necessary diameter rods for the job and may have to special order the brass or you could find a local machinist to do it. RMC recommends Duco Cement on the edges of the seated OSC. I use RMC brass in my .410 turkey gun and follow RMC's directions regarding the Duco Cement. RMC can also make the brass reloading kit. Gil

Wow! Just checked the price at Speedy Metals and 12” of 1 1/2” 360 brass rod is $116.25! Then there is shipping and tax…..

Joe, one could get 3 hulls out of a foot of the brass. It'd last a lifetime. I looked at the site and saw where there is "cartridge" brass and another type brass alloy, the 360.
The 12" billet of 1.5" would weigh over 6.5 lbs. That's a lot of brass on the floor after making the hulls. Gil

Sorry to go off topic Gil. If you ever find the need for more .410 brass, take a look at 9.3x74r brass. A 41 mag seating die can lightly size the mouth of a case, and crimp an over shot card. I just put a little epoxy in the bullet seating cup to make it a flat. Haven't done them for a while, but it can work fine.

Craig, thanks for the tip. I have plenty of unfired brass from RMC to take me to the Long Good-bye. Cowboy Action Shooters report over 3,000 reloads with RMC's brass in 12 ga. A few brass hulls go a long way with my turkey gun and the uncrimped rounds with Duco'd OSC's seem to work fine so far. Gil
