I believe some folks had Hornady make dies at one point. Whidden gun works will also make dies if you send them fired cases, but not inexpensivee.

Not really sure will have to ask Kevin Weaver. He is in charge of my project.

20 Ackley bee has a 30 degree shoulder and a 20 killer bee has 40 degree shoulder. Not enough to make a significant difference. I've ended up with both because of a mistake in ordering the reamers, and have dies for both now also. My killer bee dies are made by whidden and my 20 Ackley bee dies are made by RCBS. Regardless of which way you go , it's critical that your dies match your reamer. what brass are you going to use? You have to make sure you end up with enough neck. On my latest Killer bee I'm using Starline brass which is .030 short to start with and I ran the reamer little deep. Great little cartridge, just make sure all components match up.
