Came across these dies last year and put them on my Christmas list. As one of the dies were out of stock, decided to wait until both were in as they are coming technically from outside the U.S. Even though it's our northern neighbor, things from Canada still have to go through U.S. Customs. Lesson learned: don't overpay for expedited shipping as that means NOTHING when dealing with U.S. Customs!
Years ago I had seen a video about using a hollow hole (leather?) punch to do 3/4" cards. Does that work? Technically yes. Is it cumbersome and a pain in the behind? Absolutely. So I decided I wanted to try something a bit more reliable and actually easier with more consistent results, especially on thicker card stock.
These are small shop crafted from steel and really nicely done. You'll see my challenges with the tight tolerances on one die, but the idea and execution are very well done and allow me to leverage my Lee single stage press that I picked up in 2016 when I began my channel around the 416 Barrett build.

Nice they are well made!! I just needed some over shot cards for my muzzleloader so I bought a hollow punch set at Lowe’s works pretty good!!

The creator of these punches designs and prototypes his tools and has them made in a full factory type shop. I have the 12 and 20 gauge set and I find them great for cork wads. All you have to do is buy it on Amazon. They have proven invaluable here in Canada because it's not always easy to get BP wads because of the shipping restrictions to Canada. We have to really on one or two distributors to import the shotshell wads and other BP items. Of more interest is that TATV is now designing a press-mounted primer-pocket resizing die which will allow those using Cheddite hulls, (Kent and other off brands use these hulls) to resize the oversized European primer pockets on Rio, Cheddite, Fiocchi to the standard American size. You can currently buy a hammer driven resizing punch from BP but this takes too long. A press-mounted primer-pocket sizer where you just push the handle down resize and remove the hull quickly will be a boon. Most reloading manuals have multiple loads using these European hulls with American primers (CCI, Winchester, Federal, Remington 209 style). The problem for me has always been how loose they fit in these European hulls. They might work in an O/U or S/S but in an autoloader of pump they can fall out and jam the action. While Cheddite 209 primers work and are properly sized for European hulls, the batch of primers that I have on occasion are pierced by the bottom firing pin on my Browning Citori. Others have also experienced this when you read through the shotgun forums. I have had to replace the firing pins twice on my Browning. So here's hoping that TATV produces this tool quickly.

I've seen these dies, I think on the Reloaders Network. They look really well made. Almost want to buy them because they looks so cool. Do a little trap and some Cowboy Action also, may be getting these myself :-))
