If you send me a couple I can do them on my lathe and post them back.
(If you have a spare I can have for my collection I’d like that too!)

Anything else that you are missing from the collection? I can do 7x64 and possibly 22 Creed if it helps?
On another note, I never found that powder dropper / grain-measure thing but I do have an old metering powder / shot flask if it is any use to you?
Sure, drop those in if you have them spare!
I got a black powder measure eventually so all good there.
Will PM you my address and will get them done and back to you ASAP.

SD yet again to the rescue.
Sure. Send them over, it’s no problem to do at all, gives me a reason to bumble about in the garage for 5 mins, I bought the correct size drill and tap a while ago, used them for my chamberings and they have sat their since!@gixer1 Would a .284win case be of any interest?
I need to get one done as my rifle is almost finished
The hardest part is chucking them in the lathe and getting a tight enough grip without distorting the brass at all but so that it doesn’t slip.
Top tip if you fancy making one yourself:
Remember to specify the following type of tap if you wish to avoid frustration:

Much appreciated, I'll drop you a pm once I've got the rifle and fired a couple of cases
The main issue is trying to keep hold of a piece of brass while drilling and taping it - even in a large it can be a pest.Top tip if you fancy making one yourself:

And use a letter drill bit size “I”….
And the tap is 5/16 36 UNS.

I find a couple of wraps newspaper prevents marking and slippage.
Masking tape usually works as well…
