Purchased a set of used Weatherby universal dies last week in 30-06, the design is similar to the RCBS competition dies. QUESTION, who made these dies for Weatherby?, and are they still being manufactured?
thanks

Don't know who made them for Weatherby. I have one for .300 Wea Mag that I bought in 1981. The patented bullet seater die with the window to insert the bullet is very nice. The Universal part of the set is that other inserts etc. could be bought to switch from one caliber to another cheaper than buying a new die set. I don't think they are being produced any more but I guess a call to Weatherby's customer service department might find the truth. They are fine reloading dies.
