I have a few dies I bought from an estate sale. They are all Lee dies in excellent condition. They are as follow:
6.5X55 7X57 8X57 303 British and 38-55. I have no use for these and if there is someone interested, let me know. If a few want the same dies, we will have a drawing. Now you do realize that, these are free!!! If you have a wife that bakes Christmas cookies, Maybe you can send me some in return. LOL. That is definitely a joke. My mom bakes me way too many every year. Oakie
Send me your info. will ship them out in a week or two, when I go to ship some other stuff I have .

That's very generous of you. Any dies that you have that I need I already have. I use a lot of Lee reloading stuff and like it. This is a great give-away and you are a good person.
great give away Oakie
I cant use them so don't toss my name in
but just wanted to say thanks for the kind offer
That's a kind giveaway Oakie. I would be happy to give the 6.5x55 dies a new home if you would toss my name in the hat. Thanks again, -Chris
Oakie what a kind and generous giveaway my first year production Winchester 1894 would sure like to meet up with the 38-55 dies toss me name in please. Terrill
Fantastic giveaway, please throw my name in for the 8x57’s I’ve got a friend with a Gew 88 For sale that I’ve been eyeballing. Thank you for the chance.
"Yer a better man than I am. Gunga Din". EZ
BTT. any others???? If no others enter, The winners will be the first ones to respond.
Very nice give away. Thanks for the offer but got those already. Please let someone else win.
i guess I could use the .303 British thanks for the offer.
I would be more than happy to give the .38-55 die set a home AND pay in Christmas cookies and candy. 'da wife's peanut butter balls and her bourbon balls, well, you'dcharge the gates of hell with a tea cup of water to put out the fire for more.
Been using a rag tag collection of miss matched dies to feed a very nice custom, 26' barreled '94, with cut Ballard rifling. It was built for a Cowboy Action shooter that never claimed it. The gunsmith who built it, took off the fancy sights and sold it to me for a VERY good price. I put on sights, replaced the forearm because it was very light in color and grain, Took the forend cap, bead blasted it and then had a follow 'smith coat it with a clear coating. don't remember what it was, but it looks like an old faded German silver cap. A 272 grain, cast flat piont gas check, at 1550 FPS, in the woods, makes a whitetail stop, RIGHT NOW, if I do my part.
So, if they end up here, they will have a good home.
Hello Oakie, I was out this morning and when I was about home saw a garage sale with a tractor. I stopped to ask about the tractor when I noticed that much of the garage sale was reloading and gun stuff. You guessed it brand new unused 8x57 RCBS dies for cheap. Please take me off the list for the giveaway. Guy had primers for 50 a thousand, russian Wolf primers cheaper than that. 2400, unique and other powders in lbs and 8 lbs, many dies but some heavily used. Brass and bullets by the thousands. A lot of parts for Dillon 650 and larger 1000? reloaders. Pretty cool morning.
I will have donna pick the two names for the 38-55 dies tonight. They will announce the winners tomorrow when I get home from the office. Oakie
As is written on the dies, the 38-55 dies will also work for the 375 Winchester. The old 38-55 runs about 30,000 psi while the 375 Winchester is over 50,000. The newer 375 round fits fine in the chamber of the old 38-55, potentially with explosive results when fired.
Oakie if no one has laid claim to the 7x57 dies I would also be very interested in them also and thanks again. Message sent with my address. Terrill
Oakie sent you a message please let me know if you received it.
