I know they are like hens teeth but I am in need of a set of 40-50 SBN dies. Have tried all the regular sources but no go. 24 month lead time? I may not be here then. Thanks

Do you have any formed cases?  I used to use a .41 mag die to neck size my cases and thumb seat the bullets

Chambered a rifle lately in that.  Seems like there are 2 versions of it.  We settled on cutting a Short Chamber in a stub to set the shoulder back and then Fire Forming.  Good Luck 👍

Be sure to read my posting on the 40-50 BN under the reloading section here. Expect to do some modifications since their shoulder is longer than the PTG and SHiloh chambering.
