Lead on case form dies

5mmgunguy
I am looking for a set of RCBS case forming dies for converting the 30 Carbine case to the 5.7MM Johnson Spitfire...also known as .223 PMC. (Not the Remington 223). Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks for the info...was kinda hoping I could get a lead on a used set that would be cheaper than $166.

    OK.

    How about a new die for $66?

    (You can send me a check for the $100 difference [;)]).

    5mmgunguy,

    Before you get too excited, with the Redding forming die, you will need the trim die which finishes the case forming and then the standard reloading dies. I went through this with the .17 Mach IV years ago and they were expensive then.

    Best.

    ADDED:

    My point, which was ignored, is the fact that the cost of the one is only a part of the overall cost. Redding does not tell you that you will need the trim die to finish off the forming. I played this game with them a long time ago and told them that it was misleading and time consuming to go back to reorder something that should be a part of the whole when trying to manipulate brass. Obviously they don't give a hoot what the real world thinks...

    Best.

    Not so fast. . .[;)] The question was about case forming dies, not reloading dies.

    I think in fairness, if you want to reload the cases (and not just form them) you'd still need to get the reloading dies separately even if you bought the RCBS case former from Huntington's.

    I'll take 5 - $20s, thanks. [:p]
