Have a set of 300 Wea. Mag. dies made by this company. Does anyone know anything about this company? Thanks.

  They have been out of business for over 40 years. Lachmiller Engineering made reloading equipment in Southern Calif. back in the 60's.

  They were acquired by RCBS in the 1970s (not for the dies, which were discontinued, but for their priming tool, fixed-amount powder measure, and some other specialized tools - which RCBS re-worked for their own line).
  
  I have a couple sets of their dies, and have had no problems with them EXCEPT for the decapping rods (not pins), which tend to break, and can only be replaced with old-style Lyman die parts.
