Gunsmithing redding competition seating dies

[secretsquirrel]

I really like these but redding dont make one for the 9.3x62 mauser. Would it be possible to ream the sleave in one made for a different calibre
to make a custom unit and if yes what calibre would make the most suitable donor?

Why dont you ask Redding for a custom die? I bet they would do it.

Have asked redding their reply was "I'm sorry but we do not make a Competition Seating Die for the 9.3 x 62 cartridge."

Email Widden Gunworks. They are better than Redding and will make what you want. Whidden Gunworks

It's possible. I called Redding about a 7mm-08 sleeve so I could ream it out for a 7mm WSSM seater die. They quoted me 16 weeks and $85 for the single sleeve. I bought the entire competition seating die with mic head for another $10 off a shelf someplace, no 4 month lead time. Not exactly the best experience, but yes. It can be done. There are easier ways though.
