For those interested i modified a Lee 30/ 06 factory crimp die to crimp 318 WR.
Disassemble the die,& trim the collet bottom off in a lathe to an OAL of 59 mm then with the collet in a 3 jaw chuck with the fingers compressed drill the hole to 21/64 & polish the inside of hole smooth with 600 emery cloth,rapped around a dowel, clean & reassemble the die, it now
crimps like it was made for a 318 WR
