    9.3 and 11.65 are bracketing it nicely!

    They are RCBS 10.75x68 FL dies. When I post them, it will be in a thread just for them and it will be open to new and old members. Random chance will not rule!

    A day late.
    A dollar short.
    Not even metric.
    Already listed by caliber.

    I think I have enough direction to get a start!
    I will start cleaning pistol dies which are already sorted by caliber and I will continue to sort rifle dies by caliber while I clean some pistol dies.
    I think I will clean .38/357 dies first.

    I believe .38 Spl is the .22LR of centerfire cartridges. Almost everyone has one and most reloaders start there!

    Here is some proof they exist:

    Click image for larger version.  Name: 1075x68_#1.JPG  Views: 28  Size: 75.8 KB  ID: 98337

    Click image for larger version.  Name: 1075x68_#2.JPG  Views: 32  Size: 70.5 KB  ID: 98338

    Now I will start the separate thread to find them a new home. They have collected dust for far too long!
    There was not bullet seating stem with them. I suspect they will use a 44 Mag seating stem due to the caliber. I will try to find one.

    I probably have a pile of them! Finding the "Wheat" amongst the "Chaff" is the issue!

I get asked from time to time about the 8mm Nambu and recently the 7.65 French long. Now that I have a lathe it makes some things easier but I do need to get a collet set-up for it, and more tooling.
    Grumpa I have both the 25 and the 32 rem size dies. I do not want to get rid of them, but I only bought them hopeing I would eventually run across a deal on the guns to use them with. I would gladly loan them to you until which time I happen to pick up something to use them with, which may actually be forever. lol

    Well.......I actually need a set of my own. I have a 30Rem die and after some modification to the die I was hydroforming the 30-30 I have and want to come up with a different idea. Doing that by hand is tedious and needs a table all to itself. I'm playing Whack-A-Mole on the plunger I made and I'm hearing noises of things I never knew I had vibrating off the table with each hit. You can imagine my surprise I actually picked something off the floor I was looking for that I thought I lost.

    The dies for the 25, 30, 32Rem I need to modify a tad and with my other idea and a lathe I'm sure I can make something work. The hydroforming actually puts out some rather impressive results, but....time isn't on my side with everything else I do. So I have to come up with a better mouse trap of sorts. I have a hunch with what I can make better and more affordable to folks it will gobble up what time I have. Just machining the new head on them right now, it takes me 1hr for 27pcs. Nothing to write home about I know but it's a start.
    Click to see what I'm doing and have available, this takes you to the VS (Vendor Sponsor) section of the site. Currently..25Rem,30Rem, 32Rem, 35Rem, 257Roberts, 358Win, 338Fed, 357 Herrett, 30 Herrett, 401 Winchester, 300Sav, 221 Fireball, 260Rem, 222Rem, 250 Savage, 8mm Mauser (AKA 8x57), 25-20WCF

    I think the most benefit would be common die sets of either rifle or pistol. I voted rifle because I flipped a coin.

    That being said, I will be watching for a set of 8MMx56R HUNGARIAN MANN for the straight pull bolt gun I have.
    Are you in need a pan lube cutter?
    I make custom made cutters in a cutting size of your choice.
