Does any one make bushing type dies for larger calibers? Such as the .358, .375, or .416?

Or are you guys machining out factory type bushings to the size you need?

ie. opening up a bushing used in a .338 cal load, so it could be used to neck size a .375 caliber round.

Who does that machining nowadays?

Thanks
 
I had problems with FL dies making a 6.5x284 cases very nonconcentrick and a 30-284 die doing the same so I bought a 284 FL bushing for the neck die and made my own bushings for 6.5 and 30 cal. the ones I made are not hard but still will probably last long and any machine shop should be able to make them if you have a die base. cutting out an existing die to fit a bushing probable won't work because the ones I tryed were too hard to be cut with standard carbide cutters
