I need some technical assistance. I have Lyman/RCBS sizing dies in .251, .363, .439, .450, .500, and .501 and I need to know what cartridges/moulds they are used with.
Does anybody know? If so, please post here.

The .363 is for the 9mm Makarov

Yes and also the .38 S&W. It really is undersized for the Mak since they generally slug between .363 and .366.

The .251 is for the 25 auto.

.251 would be 25 auto (pistol)
.363 would be 38 S&W (I believe)
.439 ???
.450 ???
.500 would be 50 Action Express or 500 S&W Mag
.501 would be the same

.439 ===11mm French Gras and maybe 43 Spanish...and there are others

.500, and .501 ===500 S&W Mag and other 50 cal pistol calibers

Off the top of my head, you could use:
.251 for 25 ACP
.363 for fat .38 cals, .38 S&W, or 9mm Makarov
.439 for .43 Spanish (works for one of mine)
.450 for paper patched .45 cal rifles

Or... you could hone them out to what ever cal you needed...
