I have a question regarding custom made reloading dies. I was given a rifle for my birthday that is essentially a family heirloom. It is a .25 Krag Improved built on a Westley Richards single shot falling block rifle that is absolutely gorgeous. This is an old rifle initially built in the early 50's as a 500 Nitro Express dangerous game gun. The barrel has been bored and fitted with a .25 Krag Improved barrel. I have about 60 cases and a dozen loaded rounds. My Dad was unable to find the original dies that were made for this gun. I need a set of dies made to convert 30 40 Krag brass down to the .25 case. I know the process and have several loads but need to get a set of dies made.
My question is does anyone know of someone who can make the dies? It seems none of the big die makers make custom die any longer so I am stuck until I can get this done.
Any ideas would be welcome. I would love to shoot this rifle as my dad says it is very accurate.
