    Benchrest shooters

    I have a small lot of benchrest dies and shells.
    Have no use for them.
    Looks like 22br, 22ppc, 22 russian and others.
    Most of the dies don't have any markings on them.
    It's the kind that uses an arbor press to load.
    Anyone know of a someone, a group, or maybe a honest forum that might be interested???

    If the die isn't marked with the "standard" chambering then the die may have been modified. I fired 3 cases in my 6br and sent them to Harrell's to match a sizing die for my chamber. You go to any length chasing zeroes.

    The dies could have been made with the same reamer that the gun was chambered with.

    A buddy had a gun built and the smith made him dies with the reamer.

    There is markings ! L E Wilson and Custom Products from what I can see in the pics.
    Wilson is still in business.
    Those are used with a small arbor press or a special bench mounted press.

    Maybe size some brass and see if they produce SAAMI spec ammo. I bet the Wilson stuff is the real deal. Neal Jones made stuff to fit your stuff. Can't make out the other.

    I second the idea of going to the accurate shooter forum.

    Somebody there might buy the whole works and then sort out and resell things that are not their bag of tea.

    One could do through the riggamaroll of doing chamber castings but why? I would just sell it as a package.

    Three have no caliber markings.
    The one's with labels, might be correct.
    No use for them so looking to unload in one package.
    I'll look at Accurate shooter forum.
