Trying to find a set of Hornady dies (#546587) in 500 Linebaugh. I've checked with all the retailers that I can find on the internet and with Hornady. All are on backorder, 2 months or more.
Does anybody's neighborhood gunshop have a set?
Thanks,
Muskwa

In the same boat, maybe someone can find two before i spend twice the price on the ch-4d.
thanks

They shouldn't be uncommon but not something gun shops would keep on the shelf... I bought my set from Midway a couple of months ago...

Try CH4D. They aren't quick though. I like the set I have from them.

The sizer I got from them is Ti Nitride. Exteriorly CH4D are kinda rough but have worked well for 9 years now.

Holy Moley,
I knew the 500 Linbaugh was getting popular but I had no idea the dies were hard to get.
I just checked Midway and theirs are backordered up to 90 days.
How about RCBS?

I am not interested in paying $220 or $446 (depending on what you want from Midway) for RCBS dies, although I like their products.
I've had good luck with CH-4D, I might go that route.
