30 PPC

I am planning on changing my AR15 to a 30 PPC/Walker caliber (essentially a 6.5 Grendel with .308 bullets). I know this has been done before but was wondering if anyone knew how I could get dies made, or if dies are available for reloading this cartridge? I looked into Callahan die blanks, but doesn't the die have to be reamed to a slightly different size than the standard finish chamber reamer size?

Sizing dies are smaller in order to make the case slightly smaller for feeding and chamber fit. It should not affect headspace if you set the die up correctly without pushing the shoulder back.
Custom dies can be made by Redding, CH4D, RCBS and Forster. They will need a chamber print or several dummy cartridges sent for them to use in cutting the die.
Best.
Thanks for your reply 243winxb. I think if I go with custom dies I will get the redding version, but I will still look into your link. Thanks again.
Search Huntington Die Specialties http://huntingtons.com/ and you might find that dies are available already.
