Wanted: Redding .308 Win Small Base Body Die 74155

Can anyone suggest where I might find one of these, preferably that I can have in my hands by this weekend?

I've tried the usual suspects: Hannams, Reloading Solutions, Norman Clark, Spud.

Grateful for any leads.

Thanks - I did check there but was hoping to avoid Midway if poss, especially if I'm to stand a chance of getting it by Friday. Will keep in mind as a last resort though.

What's your actual problem, oversize brass or undersize chamber?

It's the occasions when the two combine.

Would the Forster National Match not work?

I don't want to touch the neck, since that has already been dealt with, and I need something I can cut the top off to sit alongside a Dillon trimmer on a 1050 toolhead. Normally that station is not usable due to being blocked by the chip extractor housing, but a body die cut flush with the top of the lock nut will just fit. I suppose I could take any small base FL die and cut it down, then open up the neck, but the body die is made for purpose and relatively cheap.

Thanks to both who have offered me loaners. Immediate requirement is fulfilled.
