    WTS-Dies-257 Imp, 30 Carbine, 30-06, 375 Win, 38 Spl, 44 Mag

    Everyone,

    These items are surplus to my needs. All are PLUS SHIPPING. No shipping on these outside of the US. Payment via USPS Money Order (the ones from the Post Office) or Paypal Family and Friends ONLY. No exceptions. 1st post followed by email to jw4570$verizon.net (change the $ to @). Also, I work so I might not be able to respond right away if I am in the middle of something, but will check when work ends.

    Shipping will be via USPS Flat Rate. You must give me an address the postal service delivers to. Most die sets will fit in a small flat rate box (Hornady excepted). More than 1 set will need to go in a medium flat rate. Current flat rate prices are:

    Small-$8.45
    Medium-$15.50

    Here's an overall shot:

    Sold, Payment Received, and Shipped to RichardB 1. 257 Improved RCBS steel die set. They have minor rust but should be a serviceable set. $20 plus shipping.

    Sold, Payment Received, and Shipped to Kimber1911 4. 375 Winchester RCBS steel die set. Very good condition. Latch on older style RCBS box is broken. $35 plus shipping.

    5. 38 Special Hornady Nitride 3 die set. Extra decap pin, both seater plugs (RN and SWC/WC), and extra circlip for seat die (this is how Hornady ships them). I took these in trade and the lock rings had been replaced with LEE lockrings when I got them. $30 plus shipping. This set must ship in a medium flat rate box unless I toss the red box and put the dies in wrapped in bubble wrap in a Small Flat Rate Box for $8.45. Or I can put the set in the red box in a small flat rate padded envelope for $8.55 but since it offers practically no protection for the red die box, I cannot be responsible if it gets cracked during transit.

    Sold, Payment Received, and Shipped 6. 44 Special/Magnum Carbide RCBS sizer. An older one but it's carbide as you can see on the die. Will be a great addition to the steel set No. 7 below or as an upgrade to your current set. $20 plus shipping.

    Attachment 284935

    Sold, Payment Received, and Shipped 7. 44 Magnum RCBS steel die set. An older set with the unthreaded sizer die than cannot accept a decapper. The expander is also the decapper. The dies are labeled as 44 Magnum so they may not work for a 44 Special. Since you can't put a decapper in the first die, you can't really use this on a progressive press unless you decap before you load. They have surface rust. $15 plus shipping.

    Attachment 284936

    8. 44 set from Parts. 44 Spl/Mag Lyman Steel Sizer die, 44 Lyman "M" expander die, 44 Magnum RCBS seat die. The seater is not labeled Special so it might not crimp a 44 Special. $25 plus shipping.

    smithnframe,

    I cannot say as I got them in a bunch of other stuff. They are RCBS Part Number 32201. If you type that in the search bar in a place like Midway, it returns it as them as 40 degree shoulder Ackley Improved, but the dies are not labeled Ackley. They were made in 1985.

    Are these your dies? If you know that #6 does not have interior scratches i would be interested.

    I took #6 out in the garage and sized a case. Seems ok to me. Has the carbide sizer ring in the bottom. No lock ring comes with this die.
