Sorry for getting off track in my own thread but let me see if I understand.
Your contention is that if you put the die blank in the lathe, cut the inside and outside threads all at once it will be more accurate than if you do them as two separate stages on two different setups. Is that correct?
If so that make sense.
I was under the impression the dies are pre-made on one machine to family's of cartridges and then final reamed to make the dies as needed. So like all 308 based dies are made short chambered and undersized and then final reamed to 243, 7-08, 308 etc as needed.
Maybe we should start a thread on die making????
