Norman ConquestNew Prices!
I know how much everything has gone up during the present administration + as I am in the sheet metal business, I am seeing it 1st hand on unrealistic steel prices. But on a whim, I pulled up RCBS sizing dies on Amazon, Perhaps they will sell direct to the public, however, the last time I talked with RCBS, they would not sell me any custom loading dies anymore. I don't know if this applies to their sizing dies, etc. as well.+ they showed between $33.00- $57.00 for the sizing die alone, W/O top punch. That, along with the grocery stores, is highway robbery.

cgbachI grew up during the Pleistocene age. My first dies(RCBS) for my first rifle ('03 .30-06) cost about 3.50$. A pound of IMR powder was about the same, 3.50$. I think primers were about 1.00$/box. Today everything cost over 10X what it did back then. So maybe 45$ for a a die set isn't so bad.
