I have a set like those that I made myself. I'll say one thing they are worth every penny that they cost. They are time consuming to make.

[Alan in GA]

looks like something that should have been made years ago! Nice!

Did he make the bushing with a radius shoulder, as Skip did, or are they straight shouldered?

[MarinePMI]

I have something similar as well, made from a Lee Universal expander die. That die body allow for someone to make inserts like those above. So simple, even a caveman can...

Got a set and they work better than SLICK!! In the "future", Paul is also planning to make the bushings in 20 and maybe even 17? THAT would be a great addition to the set. From there, the sky would be the limit. These dies are a GREAT start.
One thing, plan ahead cause the shoulder goes back REAL FAST. Go slow and measure as you go or you'll end up with a "short" whatever you're wanting.

Ray they are radius shoulders, I used these to start my viper cases.

Thanks Drew, I was hoping he'd had used a 30* shoulder. Mine are from Skip and they have bailed me out a few times. The radius makes it a little tricky to set up.

Ray, does make it slightly tricky - I used a Neil Jones setup with 30° bushings to take it from 22 cal down to 17.

Neils bushings are my go to bushing in most of my forming. I actually often use Skips die body with Neils bushing on short cases.
