Any Luck With Used Dies ?
« on: September 09, 2025, 11:41:04 AM »
I am cleaning house and ran across some older dies and  a Lee hand press .
Were passed on to me so not much history.
Any body take a chance on using unknown dies ?
Many are in calibers I do not have so want to get rid of them but not sure of the liability of passing on to others.
Thought about posting on the bulletin board at my shooting range since there are a couple that aren't common.

All my dies are used. 

Non carbide straight wall pistol dies have little value.

Ditto... never had a problem purchasing used dies that I could look at first.  You shouldn't have a problem selling them if you price them right.

I have a few sets I bought used and have never had a problem with any of them.
The mountains are calling and I must go

A few of them have some surface rust on the shell holders and remains of foam that they were packaged with.
Maybe I will run them through my vibratory cleaner and hope they will clean up a bit.

If they are RCBS dies no problem.

LIFETIME WARRENTY.


Lee dies if there is an issue toss them.


If you were close I'd be interested in the whole package.
