    Reloading die's

    I wonder if anybody on here can help me locate some reloading dies or even a neck sizing die in 9.5x47R for a 1880's German target rifle I have just got my hands on. I can get some CH4D ones from Germany but at 210 euro plus shell holder plus postage they will be half the price of the rifle. I have bought some cases from Kranks no problem but finding it very hard to source die's.
    Cheers,
    Mick.

    I recently acquired a 9.5x47R SWISS MARTINI RIFLE,
    After slugging the barrel and tinkering,
    it turned out to be a 10.5x47R,
    which in a way has turned out to be a good thing as everything for the 10.5 is easier to acquire or make,
    good luck with your project,

    That also figures in the text of my additional reading link from castboolits...

    do not want to jump on this guys 9.5 question and change it to 10.5,
    but i did find the 10.5x47R real easy to make rounds for,
    after an initial search for 9.5 dies, and the shock at the price,
    that was when i slugged it and it came out .419, much to my surprise,
    not that i can get out to the range to try it any time soon,
    there is always next year,
    T
