First of all I would say there is not enough details to help you much. For instance,what is the age of your press and dies? Is your press and dies Heavily used, hardly used or never used? What is the brand of dies? Are the pistol dies carbide? We need to know the brand and type of primers such as Federal regular or match type primers? Also, since the .40 takes small pistol primers and the .223 takes small rifle primers if you only have one case of "small primers" which type is it, pistol or rifle? I can guess the large primers are pistol primers. The brand and type of each powder? Have they been opened? Any used? For brass brand, quantity and if used how many times they have been shot? As far as bullets we need to know brand, weight, type and quantity?

You would get more money selling everything separately but it may be more work than you may want to put into it. If you sell everything at once you will have a smaller number of potential buyers than if you sold everything separate.

Depending on your answers I may be interested in some or all of your powder, your small primers, and your .223 heads.

Thanks for the reply.
im not 100% sure but i think the dies are lee delux carbides.   Press was used very little.  Around 100 rounds in .40cal.   50 rounds in 223 and zero rounds on the. 45.

The primers are federal brand.  A case of small pistol and small rifle and a case of large pistol.   Ive got a couple hundred .40 amd 223 shot once.

Eh, it's worth about a hundred bucks.

I'll take it.  :thumbsup:

I would say if you ask $200 you would be hard pressed to get rid of it unless you are willing to come down in price. I would look on eBay and see what others are selling the same pieces for and I think you'll find you don't have a lot of value there.

The thing is you need to find one customer who wants exactly what you have and is willing to pay whatever price you put on it. Not an easy thing to be honest. If you want to get rid of it quickly and easily I would ask somewhere between $125 and $150. Otherwise, like I said, if you ask $200 for it you might sit on it for a while.

Ok, I'll pay $125

I could be interested in the powder if the price is right.

What's the brand and is it new or opened?

I'm also interested in powder if it's Bullseye, Titegroup, or Varget.

My favorite brand of primers are CCI, but I can do Federal.

I also know someone who might want the turret, but he's strapped for cash.

From the offers you are already seeing you will be better off selling it piece by piece rather than as a whole. You'll also make more money that way but it will take longer and is more of a hassle. I would be interested in your powder, primers and .223 heads.

What brand is the .45acp die set.

What is the weight of the .40 bullet heads?
