Handgun dies

[ScouT6a]

Picked up a .32 S&W revolver, a few weeks ago. No ammo to be found.

Thought, no big deal, I will pick up some dies, brass and a bullet mold and roll my own.

Well, bullet mold and brass was no problem. Dies, on the other hand....

Checked two dozen places and all sold out. For this little oddball caliber?? Two places said they were expecting some in June or July. Maybe TWO sets by then, one place said.

Watched Ebay for a couple of weeks. Looking for .32 Smith and Wesson long (was going to shorten the sizing die) and .32 ACP (used with a #4 shell holder) or 32 Smith and Wesson.

Yeah, they are going for $70-$90. I don't NEED them, I want them.

Low and behold, I found new, 32 Smith and Wesson dies outside the country but figured that shipping would be cost prohibitive.

Nope! All said and done, I paid about $10 over pre-panic prices, to my door. Shipping was less than $10

I know we have the ammo in stock at the store and we might have dies as well (I'm not sure without being there to look). All the dies we have are the same prices as 2 years ago since my cost has not gone up. We currently have over 80 different types of dies. The last few cases of ammo were more expensive, but it's not as crazy as common calibers.

Bass and Bucks in Wabash had 32 SW Long Lee dies in stock yesterday. Dont quote me but I think they were 35 or 39 bucks

Do you have dies for .30-06 and/ or .30-30. RCBS, Lyman, Hornady preferred. I'm not a Lee fan.

With that thread title you had me thinking we needed to send a priest to perform last rites over your gun!

Other than Lee dies, we have RCBS .30-06 for $45.80 plus tax ($49) and RCBS .30-30 for the same price.
We also have a Redding deluxe die set in .30-06 for $75.71 plus tax ($81).

That's about what they should be. The set we have at the store is $32.72 plus tax.
