Lee .45 dies

[olchevy]

Just a heads up guys for any of you looking for Lee .45 acp dies. I know they are super hard to come by right now and expensive when you do find them.

Well I found out lee .45 Auto rim dies are the exact same as the .45acp
Dies. The ONLY difference is the shell plate holder that comes with it.
I just got mine for 32$
I just got my set in a few minutes ago and low and behold they are even stamped Lee .45ACP.

I think the government created the 45 auto rim during WWII because of the shortage of 45 auto loaders. I think they had the ability to make revolvers in mass in place, but because it'd take a while to get up an running on the auto loaders they came up with the 45 auto rim.

Not too hard to come by if you know where to look. TruPrep has had them in stock for a while now.
