Next year's chambering prompted me to grab a copy of P.O. Ackley's 2 volume set. I'll be darned if I can find it right now, but I read somewhere in there about (probably when buying a custom rifle in a wildcat chambering) having reloading dies cut by the same smith that does the chamber. I can imagine a FL Sizing die with closer tolerances than even the best toolmaker going from a SAAMI spec or a drawing.
I've done some reloading (Hornet, .223, 8x57, .300 Win, .45ACP), but I'm no expert. Would there be a measurable benefit (case life, accuracy, ease of setup, safety??) from reloading with a die made like that? I'd think so, but what do you veteran handloaders think?
For that matter, the Noslers could offer up a serialized custom die to go with the .280AI, and subsequent issues, epecially if they are custom chamberings. Silly idea?
