Can never have too many of the same caliber dies.....

50 BMG, Collet, and steel reloading dies plus the Factory Crimp Dies. Also, discussions concerning the Deluxe, Pacesetter, and RGB die sets.

It's funny how you can collect extra dies. I've got 2 sets of 9mm, .38/357, .45 Auto and .223. I'm not brand conscious and when I find something I don't like about a set of dies, I buy another brand. I still can't tell you which ones I like the best. Redding... RCBS... lyman... Lee... Hornady... Heck I don't know. Each brand has things I like and things I don't. It's a good thing I do have extra sets, because some brand's locking rings are too big to work on the Lee Classic Turret. Sometimes I have to borrow.

I just aquired 200 06' because it was brass that makes 2 rifles happy. I have 300 or so 270 because it is 1 lot of Winchester old stock. It becomes an obsession after a while......

I have a couple of dupicate sets of dies just because they were a good deal but lately my problem is buying dies for cartridges I don't even have a gun in them.

My problem is the opposite - I have dies for calibers I USED to have.

Listen if you happen into a 275H&H ,7x64 Brenkke or the less obscure 35 Rem or 280 Rem I have your dies. The 280 would be nice but the 35 is not well suited to 200 plus yd deer or elk . I miss thought on the 275H&H dies thinking how cool that would be to rebbl the Oviedo and stamp it 275 Riby knowing it is a 7x57 Mauser. The Brenkke and Rem are so close that well they won't share brass but their close.
