Does anyone have an extra set of 450#2 dies ? I’ve got a friend looking for a used but good set. Thank you
 
I have a set of RCBS dies in that caliber. Exc -new condition. $285 shipped
 
Thank you sir. I will see what my friend would like to do.
 
I have stopped answering posts when follks are in need for just this reason. I mean a fella comes through with the item needed and the one in need, with perhaps a $25,000 rifle, tries to save $35. I have a set, too, and boxes of brass in several calibers that are not in production any longer, and will sell them at gun shows or let them gather dust rather than do this again. If the price was $285 OBO then fine. If just $285 (which is a good price) buy 'em or not. Better yet, you can save some money with CH Tool dies. They are good quality and the $35 saved can be spread over the 2 1/2 year back order. Hell, if he won't buy them for $285, I will. PM for payment details and I'll send a check. Unless, for course, you would take $280....?

Hey Cal - it’s Martin here. I get your rant - I was just checking for a friend that’s building his own rifle. He doesn’t live in the states hence my inquiry for him. I know we all get flustered with the nickel and dime stuff sometimes- understandably so. The motto “gotta pay to play” didn’t come about for nothing. I, of all people, didn’t mean to get upset about anything. Anyhow, all good here. Talk soon!
 
No worries, mate. I've had over half dozen folks contract me for brass they need and can't find. I sell the boxes of new brass for $100. The gents get angry or don't reply. Hell, I paid $75-80 a box when the prices were rising. It's 40 miles to the post for a box and to mail and another 40 to the bank to cash their check so I thougth 100 was fair. Maybe I'm out of line, but I stopped adveretising brass and now tell folks I'm out to avoid the hassle. I put my 1980s BELL brass out and it sold within days at twice that price in 450 no2 and 475 no2, 500, 577 and 600. A gent who hunts the big 4 in Tanzania with a London sidelock needed 475no2 dies. My set could almost meet his needs but he would not buy them unless I discounted $20. I passed on the sale. I guess I'm too old and grouchy.

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
