I keep my dies, even if I sell a rifle/pistol. I'm guessing 30-40 calibers at the house plus 6 shotgun ga's.

40s&w, 45acp, .223, 8mm mauser, 7.62x54r, 30 carbine, trying to find cheap dies for 7.5 swiss I think Lee has 7.5x55 Swiss, pretty reasonable.

Seen them advertised, just never in stock, probably have to go online. oh well, i have enough ammo store up now that its not a priority.
Is it true that a 45acp die can also load a 45 long colt with the proper adjustments and vice versa

I think thats true with .45ACP, but not the other way around as the 45LC won't adjust down far enough.. kinda like you can load both .38 special and .357 mag with a .38 special die, but not the other way around.
