    Echo Dies?????

    I found a set of dies that are covered with grease.
    Old box is marked .338 Win.
    I cleaned off some of the grease and found they were marked ECHO.
    Never heard of ECHO reloading equipment.
    So who were they????

    I have a sweet ECHO press you can mount those in
    Take a kid to the range, you'll both be glad you did.
