8mm lebel revolver carbide dies are like chicken teeth

[jbunny]

none to be found in Canada. so on to plan B. i bought some Lee carbide 32 S&W Long dies and
a little trick machining and i now have 8mm lebel revolver carbide dies.

Could be interesting. My 32 dies have a carbide ring in the bottom. I would probably use them for sizing the neck down then make up an expander to open the neck backup to proper dimensions to fit the bullet. If you had an older all steel die that would be easier than trying to mill the carbide insert. You are just not having good luck getting things working or finding what you need. Hopefully things improve.

What's the new internal diameter after modifications?

Think that's bad a set of used RCBS .44AMP dies went for $1977 US on E-Bay because there are none and they are making the guns again.AKA .44 Auto Mag

I found my set at Budget Shooter Supply a few years ago. Might be worth seeing if Henry can order one in for you.
