    RCBS 56533 die set

    So I picked this die set at our Gunshow.
    RCBS 56533
    Group "L"
    11.15 x 58R Werndle
    Can't seem to find it anywhere.
    Wondering what it might be worth.

    I'd guess $250ish, judging by other uncommon caliber dies I've seen for sale.

    Checked the RCBS web site, and they don't even list the "L" series dies anymore.

    CH4D lists them new for $260, but from what I understand, there may be an extended wait to get them.

    Yours are used, but RCBS brand, which has a reputation at least equal to CH4D.

    There is a time+new vs. used+brand name+demand calculus that would give you the answer. Assuming in good shape, they should sell immediately for $200. I have yet to see a set of 7/8x14 (standard size) dies go over $300 (the big .50 BMG and such easily top that, but are much larger).

    Or you could just go with what Bazoo said, which I think is spot on.

    They look like never used.
    No rust, lube, wear marks, instruction sheet looks to have never been open.
    Even the box looks new.
    Friend who wanted them hasn't called yet.
    If he doesn't want the, might sell them.
    Unless I can find a rifle to match.

    The rifle is probably easier to find than the dies. I go along with abunaitoo & gwpercle. You need a rifle to match the dies.

    OK - 2 die or 3 die set? expander plug diameter? Shell holder included? I would be interested if you decide to scrap those. I shoot a Werndl and like it a lot. Proper dies would be cool.
    Maybe I have 2 or 3 of them.

    It is a special kind of sickness that makes a man buy dies when he has no idea what they fit. I speak from personnel experience.
