Who/what is CH4D?

CH4D is a company that builds custom dies, Dave is great to work with & probally has whatever you need in stock or send him fresh chamber castings & he will build a set of dies to fit your chambers.

MANY Thanks, guys - That's a great tool to have in your back pocket! I seem to recall that RCBS stopped making custom dies awhile back, is that true? If so it's wonderful that someone else is out there picking up the slack. Thanks again.

Gary,

I prefer RCBS dies to CH4D dies, even though the cost is higher.

I wouldn't buy a stock .450BPE die set because you might have the same problem.

I would have a custom die made to Cerrosafe casts. RCBS will do this.

You don't need a whole die set, just the sizer.

Thanks again Roscoe, I will contact RCBS and send a Cerrosafe casting to them. I miked an original .450 Nitro Kynoch unfired cartridge and 3/4" up from the base it is 10 thousands smaller than a case run through the Hornady dies. I thought the BPE rifles had different chamber specs, but the 1902 Webley .450 Nitro also would not chamber the Hornady sized rounds. I must say that Hornady customer service was excellent and immediately sent me a second sizing die to try.
