Who carries Hornady product?

It depends what you are looking for. Higginon carries the bullet line but not the reloading dies presses etc.

Looking for some not so common dies.

I have had good luck with Sinclairs for finding uncommon dies etc. Do they have to be Hornady dies? They suck IMHO, they should stick to making bullets

P&D in Edmonton carries Hornady, but it sounds like they have issues of getting some stuff delivered. I suspect its the cross border thing as always. I have several Hornady die sets, they are finicky to set up, but they work well once done. I haven't had any more problems with Hornady dies as any other dies.

Bought my hornady .500 nitro dies from Clay at Prohet River. He has some not so common calibers.

Ya I need a 218 seating die. I am having issues with crushed cases when seating flat based bullets.

The Wison is a preference over the Hornady?

Either way, it looks like order from south of the border.

Wilson is so much better than a Hornady it isn't even worth discussing IMHO

But a hand one for almost 1000 rounds?

Hey cummins what don't you like about the hornady dies? I haven't used mine yet so any info on possible pitfalls would be great.

I would check and see if RCBS makes a Competition seater for that cartridge, I have one for all my rifles. The one for my Hornet has never crushed a case.

Well I just got Clay from Prophet to order up some dies for me for the 218 and the 22k hornet. Hopefully that solves my issue with crushing necks with flat base bullets.

I had to send more Hornady dies back under warranty than all others combined when I worked at WSS. The most common problem was not resizing enough for easy chambering.Ya I know you can #### aroung filing shell holders etc but why when a wilson, rcbs, redding or forester will work every time.

Thanks for letting me know. Chambering in a .500 nitro is pretty important so I will try the dies and see how it goes. I do use RCBS exclusively however their .500 nitro dies are or were special order. Thanks for the heads up.

Too bad. I had a set of Lee .218 Bee dies in the EE

Have fun with the calibre!

Nobody in S.Ont. seems to have much stock right now - especially 22 cal projectiles.

It's the old routine: "Hurry-up and wait....."

I have a set of Reddings currently. During the seating process I am crushing cases. I am hoping that the hornady with the portion that keeps the case vertical will solve that issue.
