I had originally ordered mine from amazon but they are a special order item and it was a 1-3 month wait on shipping, looks like they're listed that way again. I found the Hornady dies in stock at Graf and Sons and had them on my doorstep within the week. I'm not sure how many they had in stock.

I saw none available in all the places you guys have suggested. Thanks for all the help. Hopefully I can get BHW to send me the gauge so I can form the brass, at least. I'm anxious to get this thing rolling!!

If someone gets hard up and needs a set of dies, I purchased a set of used Pacific Durachrome (later became Hornady) 30 Herrett dies off ebay before I was able to locate to Hornady dies and I would sell them for cost ($50) plus shipping. These do not have a tapered expander but the tapered expander/decapper from my Redding 300 Blackout fits right in, others likely fit as well. Anyhow, if anyone needs a set PM me and I'm happy to help out.

I'm anxious to get this thing rolling!! You still need the dies to form the brass. All the gauge does it let you set the dies up for forming. It is not used in the physical process of forming cases. Do you have a case trimmer? Greg

I understand that, Greg. I've thoroughly read the "Getting Started" thread. Yes, I have all the proper reloading stuff on the way from Midway. The dies will be here this week. Plus, I bought the Daniel Defense 6.8 bolt. I hope it's the best option. Like I said...just anxious.

A huge part of my being anxious is that I have a California coastal hog hunt on a VERY private ranch....like a once in a lifetime invitation to shoot a trophy hog. BIG plans for this new build.

So I received my RCBS 30 Herrett dies yesterday. They DO NOT have the tapered decapping, expander. I ordered the tapered decapping expander from Huntington Die Specialties, and problem solved. Well, I ordered 2...can't be too cautious!!
All other reloading supplies come in today, with the Daniel Defense 6.8 bolt.
Can't wait to get the barrel....dang wait time!!!
