I have a never used set of RCBS reloading dies and shellholder. Does this have any collector value?

    I would have to seriously doubt it, as they are still made. They have practical value to a reloader wishing to reload that caliber. You should have no difficulty for selling them at or a little below the current retail price.

    Thought I don't know if they would have any collectors value, I would beg to differ that these dies are still made, unless custom ordered. I have never been able to find them through any current distributors and just found a set (used) after looking for about eight years. 303 SAVAGE brass is hard to find and available through only a handfull of distributors. A special run of the brass was made in the mid to early 90s. As a general rule when the brass dries up for a caliber there is no sense making dies. Loaded rounds are currently being sold anywhere from $30-$50 per box (new manufacture or collectors). That being said you may be able to get a premium price from someone who has brass and still wants to load for this caliber.

    It is true that these dies are "special order", but they are usually readily available from Huntington as part #56762, Die Group G, Full length die set, $119.95 retail, $99.85 dealer.
