My buddy had Whidden make him custom dies for 338 Norma mag improved. He sent 3 pieces of fired brass in and they made him dies. I used the same reamer on my rifle so I called Whidden and gave them the invoice number to order a set like he has. I figured they had it on record. They lady said the aren't making custom dies. Who is a good person or company to make me a full length die set? Can they make on with just the reamer print?
 
Hornady does them... reamer print helps, though I think they prefer to have some cases that have been fired a couple times already as well. I think *maybe* places like Neil Jones or Cortina Precision *might* do one-off custom dies as well... but with both of those, you get into using custom shoulder/neck bushings, vs. 'standard' neck bushings. Not necessarily a bad thing, but worth being aware of.
 
I have custom whidden dies.

From now on I’m going with sac. They’re so good it’s not worth the hassle of custom
