    dunbar reloading dies

    Any one ever heard of dunbar reloading dies? I have the opprotunity to pick a set of 30-06 dies, cheap!. Look well made, and very clean.

    Yep. They also made presses.

    I have a couple of their shell holders for my Hollywood presses.

    Hope this helps.

    Never heard of them before, but if they are anything like this press:

    They will be a fine tool.

    They look really clean, and very well made. Still debating but if I get them will let you know how they work out.

    Good quality and the design of the dies and cartridge case hasn't changed. Good price don't hesitate to buy if you need them. I'm not a collector, so can't comment on that aspect.

    Didn’t Dunbar make a lot of Presses under contract for Herter back in the day? If so they would be “the World’s finest” since that was the description of everything Herter sold.
