Unfortunately I dont have a rifle but I bought dies for a project I never finished. They are Hornady Custom Grade FL sizing and seating dies. Let me know if you are interested.

Palongshanks,
If you can't locate a Weatherby, consider picking up a long action bolt gun of your choice and have it re-bored or re-barreled. For around $500 was able have this work performed by my local smith on a walnut stocked Winchester Pre-64 M70. Mike sent the barreled action to JES in Oregon and they turned it around in under 3 weeks. The former 30-06 now prints out MOA groups from the original 22"barrel re-bored in this underrated caliber. The rifle likes the 200 grain AB loads that I have purchased from Nosler. Do remember when Weatherby offered the ultra-lite model in this caliber with a fluted barrel and a synthetic stock. I could not justify the purchase at the time. . Love me some Model 70's. Finally have a second one and I don't regret the build or the choice of this cartridge. Just need to make the leap and gather up some reloading equipment. LaGriz

I always heard great things about JES. Talked to Jess on the phone when I was planning to send him a rifle to bore. Plans just changed.

I JUST had my T3x '06AI rebored by JES last week - to 338/06AI - Jess had it done in a week for $250 - 5 groove barrel

haven't even had time to shoot it yet what with the winter storm we had ….
