Just want some ideas on this I have a 17 VLR, and a 224 clark and a 6.5 X 300 weatherby all of these are work rifles for taking wolves and coyotes I look at the prices of 14-221 dies at $300 plus dollars for a set of form dies and at least $180 for loading dies and $50 for a cleaning rod and more special parts and peaces and the price of bullets and just wonder if it is worth the expense and time I have an extra 700 short action and does any one even have an idea of the price of a barrel thanks for any Info I can get on this subjuct: Coyote slayer Eat Moose 20,000 wolves can't be wrong |

14's are not that expensive. I have made cleaning rods and sold them for $20. But they are not the quality of the rods that are $50. You can get cases from John Delozier, who frequents this forum and save yourself the forming dies.
I purchased some dies from Wilson and made them into 14 Walker Hornet dies, and sold the set for $90. That's neck sizer and an inline seater....wouldn't be hard to make the 221 version. Now, for bullets, you just have to realize that everyghing has to be made or re-sized. I don't think $30/100 is unreasonable at all, you can pay that for several other premium bullets.

Yeah, dies for forming are not cheap, that is why I have them and sell formed brass and as for FL die set, if you do not use an in-line press, RCBS dies from Midsouth I think were 80$ They will be more fun then you can handle but they will take work JD |

Check my web site for the article from Blaine Eddy this evening.. It speaks volumes on pelt hunting with a 14. Blaine also asked me to mention the buyer of the 157 coyotes pictured in the article-- one Terry Montgomery of Montgomery Fur Co. russ |
