50-70 Government

[DocJoe]

Hello to all and I hope spirits are high from the holidays.

I had a couple of unfortunate things happen to me today while reloading 50-70 government. I'm 72 and have had these for a good while. Well. long story short I need to get another set of dies. A quick search and I'm only finding, in stock, a used 3 die set on ebay for $150.00. If anyone has a source, please point me in that direction. I'd also consider a good quality used 3 die set. I'm shooting these out of original 1866 Springfield Trapdoors (2nd Allen). Thanks for looking and your help is welcomed.


Thanks,
DocJoe

These are available on eBay for less than $40. I have been using the Lee set for years.

Just search 50-70 Government.

These are the most inexpensive sets I found plus shipping is great.
Also available at Midway at a few dollars more.
