About as easy as martini 577-450 cases although might need a few more hops to be 204.

They "were" being sold by a bloke in the USA- but he has stopped making them.

If you find a set- grab 2 hey.

I reckon a bloke with a lathe should be able to make us a set.

The shade tree forming dies are great, I grabbed a set when I was forming 20x47.

How hard are they to use Seddo? As in- are the shoulder creases sharp or is fire forming still needed?

I assume they are just 20, 30, 45 cal with different shoulder angles on the face of the dies? Or are the dies in multiple steps- 20,22,25,30,35cal?

How hard is duplication? Say making a dozen custom sized cases- how much variation?

The one issue I could see was trying to create a dozen duplicates- I thought you'd need some kind of adjustable "depth bar" to give some consistency.
