Curdog,

Thanks for the link…!
However 
At $160.00   I think they could be custom ordered for l much less

They're $185 for a 3-die set at CH4D

And this set has a shell holder and trim die.

I'd buy them if I didn't already have a set.

If need them soon I wouldn't hold your breath. Many were imported in the 1950s and 60s, but a majority were re chambered or lined to more available cartridges and components. I would use your computer to do the walking for you and do a rain dance every now and then.  Good luck

To reload 310 Cadet ammo use a Lee 30 carbine carbide sizing die, seat bullet with thumb. Works great.

I bought a set of CH4D dies, only to discover that, with the proper diameter heeled bullet coated with Lee Liquid Aloe, I didn't need any tools other than a primer seater to make my ammo.

My experience with the 310 Cadet wasn't that positive.  I seated heel bullets in brass and then the brass had slightly expanded and would not seat.  Issue was corrected by using running the loaded bullets in .310 die.

On a slightly different subject, I talked with Dave's daughter who now owned CH4D.  Their costs are very high.  She said they lose ~ 10% of their dies in heat treatment.  Lot of their dies are purely speciality dies like .310 cadet, .300 rook, 9.3x82R with very small runs.
