Read today on another site that Hornady is 30,000 dies behind in orders right now.  They are running 12 hour shifts. Custom die orders are at least a 6 month wait. I know that primers, powder etc. are short but dies too???  RD

Just bought 4-die set for 500 SWM and 3-die set for 45 ACP at BassPro last week.  They had quite the selection of "New Generation" or whatever it was in quite a few calibers for pistol and rifle.  They also had Lee, RCBS, and at least 2 others.  I think BassPro just got into reloading stuff too if I'm not mistaken.  Their prices are just a bit higher than web guys, but not so much that shipping wouldn't offset it.

Have you tried Sinclair International, they carry Hornady in addition to Redding and RCBS.

I think every thing dealing with guns is in high demand, so stuff is in short supply and the wait time for product can be way out there.

I checked the Sinclair International site and they have some Hornady dies and most Redding dies.  They also carry Forster and Wilson dies.  This is where I get about 80% of reloading equipment.  Better selection and sometimes better price.
