Shotgun dies

I remember years ago that there were shotgun dies available for rifle presses. Does someone still make them?

RCBS makes a 12 ga. set. You need a press like the Rockchucker because the dies are a lot wider than normal reloading dies.

The new RCBS dies are made expressly for the all brass shells made by mag-tech. I doubt they would work for paper or modern plastic shells. The thread size is the same as the bushing in the RCBS rockchucker. You remove the bushing, thread the dies directly into the press.

RCBS did make some dies in the distant past for loading shells in their rockchucker. If you could find them on fleabay, they might work.
