I'm first to admit I'm a major noob. A friend of mine and I recently picked up some swaging equipment. The dies are marked "McMillan". One set in 22 centerfire, and one in 6mm. Any info appreciated.

Ohnomrbillk,
The silver set of dies appear to be B&A brand. They were popular in the 50's and 60's. Information is available on the internet for B&A dies. I have a couple of sets just like them that make excellent bullets.
The black body dies, I have no idea of the manufacturer.
If you would like more information on what the dies are and how they are used, please let us know.
Martin
Thanks Martin I truly appreciate it.
I'm thinking of keeping some of the pieces, and selling the rest. Any idea what a fair price on a die set like this would be worth?
sent you a PM ohnomrbillk
