 Topic: Reloading dies, sheeeeesh
Posted: 05 Feb 2026 at 8:15am |

When in the world did reloading dies get so expensive. I usually buy dies with a new caliber purchase and went to the Midway website and was shocked. I have a bunch of RCBS dies, I think I need to move to a safe.

Not happy to read this. I’m getting ready to buy some for 22-250. I have yet to price Dies, powder, primers or projectiles

pretty much why I never got back in to reloading several years ago, and I don't shoot enough anymore to do any reloading now if ya got a special load that works well with your shooter,,might be worth doing if ya shoot a lot. its just about as efficient to jus buy over the counter stuff,, sometimes there's bargins to be found on Gun broker...

I found one set with the $18.55 price tag still on it. Been looking for a 22-250 for the coyotes around here. Had one years ago, kid lost his dad, wanted $100 for the gun, told him he knew where it was if he ever wanted it back. He got out of the army and called one day.

May the gun gods bless you with one that suits your needs.
I had a Savage heavy barreled 22-250 I come on to at a good price when looking for a coyote gun. That was very good shooting gun, but really needed a rest as heavy as it was. So more trading and a 22 Hornet now sits in that space on the safe. And a cheap single shot 223 became riding behind the seat truck gun. The dealer told me I had a 50% chance on the single shot. Either real good or bad. My luck I got a bad one. Treble trigger and does not eject shells very well.
