Does anyone have the instructions that come with this die set?
this would help me decide whether to buy it or not_
(I've never used or handled it before)
any opinion welcome, o.c._
tanks to all

Food is overrated. A nice rifle is way more important.

I would buy them if I were you since they are no longer in production. I have a 38 cal set and it was worth the cost. If priced reasonably you will never lose your investment if you decide you don't like them.
...I have a C-H cannelure tool, and I bet their dies can have the same high quality standard.
if I could have a scan of their instructions, lacking in the box,
I could better understand before any buy if they are suited to my needs,
mostly to produce better hp than I can do now_

the email reception service has been giving me problems recently_ if anyone had pm me or direct mailed me the scan of the instructions of the C-H dies I'm looking for, I kindly ask you to try again.
Thanks for the attention !

Are you able to see or download this file? This is all the instructions that came with my C-H 101 38 cal set. From your pictures, I believe this is a 101 die set.

thanks again !

Thanks for the instructions!
I have a couple of sets and that is a big help if I need to sell them!
You're gonna be ecstatic with the process of swaging jumping from the reloading dies to these. Careful. The bug might get you.
These two die sets have had some heavy use before I got the Corbin tools. These go back about 45 years or so.
These are for the .45 ACP and the .44 mag and they have the nose form from a round nosed solid and HP. The HP pins are shaped or straight flat bottom and they handle 1/2 and 3/4 jackets very well. These dies do have a problem with the top guide bushing where the stem goes through and you have to watch that you don't flair the bottom when you form the nose. It puts pressure on the guide bushing and it can put a flair on it making it a bear to unscrew the bushing from the die body. But all in all they are a very serviceable die.
...very grateful about your tips and support !
