A little puzzle. Some time ago I was gifted a couple of reloading dies for 243Win - one is a Redding body die and the other is a neck expanding mandrel - but no manufacturer name engraved, no size info - not even on the mandrel to state it is a 6mm size.
So if anyone can shed light on which company made it, I'd be very grateful. Using it to prepare cases for neck turning to fit a Shilen stainless match barrel.
Photos attached.

Re: Help identify this Die please
Looks like a Sinclair one.
Re: Help identify this Die please
Thanks - must be a first generation one, as the current model on the website is slightly different. But the mandrel measures the same for the Sinclair specs @ 2 thou smaller than bullet size .241"
Re: Help identify this Die please
Yep Sinclair.
