Was looking at your dies on the auction side.
I have a question about your 7.62x39 dies.
http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=102775282

The box says 308/311.
My dies also are for 308/311 (Lyman) and they have two expander buttons. One is for 308 diameter bullets and the other is for 311 bullets.
Are both expander buttons in the box and I am just not seeing it?
If only one, which one is included, the 308 or the 311?

Also there are three dies. Is one of them a case length trim die?
If so, you may want to include it in your description - and raise the price to reflect this.


Thanks---Peabo

    The reason it came to my attention is because the box is marked '308/311'. My Lyman box is not marked as having both, but both were in the box.

    Did you look at the marking on that 3rd die? Is it marked 'Trim Die'?


    In the first picture, you can see the second button at the top of the box. Both of the buttons are marked as to size. One is marked '308' the other is marked '311'. Yours should also be marked.
    You will have to remove the stem from the die to see the markings on the button since there is only one. If it is not marked, you can measure it with a micrometer while you have it out.

    Not trying to give you a hard time, Bobski, just trying to help.
