Need some lathe work.

[SuperCub]

I'm looking for someone to do some lathe work on a FLR 30-30 die. I'd like to have the neck reamed to make this die into a body/bump die with no resizing to the neck at all. I use collet dies for that.

Please advise, thanks.

Would simply using a Lee .32 Winchester Special die not accomplish the same thing, without the fuss?

Not sure that you would need a lathe? The die is not going to touch the brass at that point - so does not have to be concentric or even finished that well - maybe a drill of suitable size - like in a drill press?

Reloading dies are hardened steel running in the range of RC 55-60+. Whoever does the job will likely need to use carbide. I believe HSS runs about RC 62-64, so very little hardness differential.

That's good info.
