| I've got a 6x45 barrel on order and wondering if I could open up a .223 trim die so i can use the RT1200 , my thinking is thats what it appears that Gracey did with a .223 holder to make a 300blk holder |

I'm not familiar with the tools you have. I'm a machinist (25 years+) and have done a lot of "G" jobs over time. Some were reloading die related. |

I am a little surprised at how short the list of those Dillon dies is when compared to the popularity of some bbls and chambers... but I am sure Dillon didn't survive this long by making stuff nobody wanted either.
I suppose you could ask them if they have ever made any and get their advice too. Phoenix is chock full of very high tech machine shops with good capabilities. I would wonder if they have not covered this ground once or twice. If you reverse engineer the fits of the other trimmer dies, I see no reason why the 223 die shouldn't supply enough material to create your 6x45 but I would hold my tongue till I designed the cut. My guess is your scheme will work. An open CBN wheel on a Moore or Studer S120 would dial that hole into what ever you desired without much fuss. check here too http://www.ch4d.com/dies/calibers/caliber-list/?query=6&field=caliber&page=9 |
