I did end up getting a set.
I have not used them yet. I plan to load some 45 pistol rounds first.
So I can get the hang of it.
Thanks, Aries

Woke up to go to work today to find that the UPS man paid me a visit. Got my bushy dies just in time to go to work tonight and leave for Michigan tomorrow!

Not to be a shill for Midway, but Hornady is offering 100 free bullets with qualifying purchases of Hornady reloading equipment - thats worth $56 at Midway's prices - http://www.midwayusa.com/product/693974/hornady-leverevolution-bullets-450-bushmaster-452-diameter-250-grain-flex-tip-expanding-box-of-50. Sort of like getting the dies for $15. Here's the Hornady rebate page - http://www.hornady.com/promotions/get-loaded-2012.

Unfortunately, if you look at the rebate form, the 250 grain ftx bullets are not one of the options for the free bullet offer. :( Still a good deal tho if you shoot something that uses one of those bullets that does qualify.

The same thing happened last year. I called Hornady and they honored the rebate for 450 Bushmaster 250 gr FTX bullets, but there was a slight surcharge above the listed S&H to offset the higher price of the bullets relative to the others on the form. The person I talked to had me add the code for the 450 Bushmasters to the form (SKU: 45201). Since the rebate offer is on the page with the 450 Bushmaster dies (http://www.midwayusa.com/product/146834/hornady-custom-grade-new-dimension-4-die-set-450-bushmaster), I can't see why they would exclude the bullets that go with the die.

You could also go with the 225 gr FTX (SKU: 45218, but also not on the form). There is a lot of loading experience with them on this forum, and since they are less expensive, there may not be any extra charge.

Anyway, it's worth a call.
