I am wondering if anyone knows what I have here with this die set.
There are 3 dies
die #1- "FL" looks to be a full length sizing die
die #2- "FM1"
die #3- "FM2"

I am wondering if anyone knows what the FM1 and FM2 may stand for. I am thinking they are possibly for forming cases from other brass but I really have no clue. I don't own a 22 reed express but looks to be a sweet round, may need to consider a gun depending on the dies here

I would guess that "FM1" is the first forming die, "FM2" is the second.

Sounds like a fun little round, but I really have to wonder at the pressures needed to get those velocities from a short barrel.
