Does anyone know of a shop or smith that can make some custom neck/shoulder bushings to be made to fit into a short action custom modular sizing die?
No, SAC modular dies incorporate the neck and shoulder into the bushing. Neil Jones does the same and has so for decades. He's probably is trying to work with a wildcat with a different shoulder that SAC doesn't make. My guess anyway.If not, can the die be modified to take a standard bushing?
Sleeve standard bushings?
Can standard bushings be modified to fit your die?
You are correct, but the shoulder angle is right, its just that they dont offer the Neck o.d. I'm looking for as its a necked down wildcat.No, SAC modular dies incorporate the neck and shoulder into the bushing. Neil Jones does the same and has so for decades. He's probably is trying to work with a wildcat with a different shoulder that SAC doesn't make. My guess anyway.
I'll have to measure them when I get back home.What is the OD of your SAC modular bushings? Do you already have the SAC die? If not have you contacted Noel Jones about a die? Noel Jones bushings are .625” OD but his differ in that the bushing extends and overlaps a fair bit past the shoulder and over the side body of the case. Maybe he’d make some to fit the SAC? I haven’t ordered anything from him in years so I’d hope by now he’s found some help.
Forester FL die and have them hone it to your desired neck diameter.Forster bushing do not work in a short action custom die
You’re missing the sort of important detail that the Forster doesn’t incorporate the shoulder into the bushing therefore it cannot be used in the SAC modular die. He’s not just looking for a slightly altered neck diameter. SAC modular die bushings are cartridge specific and since he’s got a necked down wildcat they don’t have a shoulder angle/neck diameter bushing that works for him hence the custom bushings.Forester FL die and have them hone it to your desired neck diameter.
Thats not an option here, its necked down not up. So if they used the parent case sizing die reamer there wouldn't be any material left to hone.I get it, just saying a cheap honed forester may be a good option to spending the big bucks on a custom bushings.
I'm not home to do any measurements right now,Are you wanting a single bushing or multiples? Did you find out what diameter they are?
Either I missed it or you never posted it but what is the parent cartridge and what shoulder angle and neck diameter does it have now?
Have you tried to reach out to Uthink Uknow? He’s friends with or related to Mark Spenser which is the toolmaker.
I talked with Neil, he's willing to make them up for me. I'll probably do that with a 25-7PRC since I have the sac die already, but have him build a die for the other wildcat im working up right now.Are you wanting a single bushing or multiples? Did you find out what diameter they are?
