Re: Some guidance, help and info Please.

Yes, it was a "lucky" find! I knew he had some reloading stuff but it didn't dawn on me about the .444 This box of dies is marked, (Omark) Industries. These go back a few years!!! I don't think Omark was with RCBS since the 80's. I have his other RCBS reloader but it's in a box as well, I ...

Re: Some guidance, help and info Please.

What are the Odds? Something told me to go through a box of stuff we took out of his shop so I started digging, (I'm sure you understand we have 70+ years of someones life) and haven't gone through everything yet.
