    Is this a complete 45 dye set?

    Hey guys so once again I'm trying to make sense if what I've inherited. I've begun cleaning up this dye set and am just curious as to if everything is here so I was hoping you guys could provide some insight. The first pic should be the decapper/sizer, second should be the expanding dye and 3rd should be the seater. It seems like I'm missing something on the expander but I'm not sure. This is a Lyman die set btw. Thanks. [ImageUploadedByTapatalk1363403211.435723.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1363403223.417279.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1363403237.850348.jpg

      I think there are only 3 dies in that set unless you add a taper crimp die or Lee. You have the decapper,sizer,expander and seater.

          The only thing I see missing is the shellholder which is not included in the Lyman DIES( not Dye) sets. Looks like the Lyman die set I have. From the photo I cannot tell if the set is a carbide or regular set. The extra lock ring in the 1st photo will go with the die that is missing the lock ring. Lyman are good dies.
          A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

              Very cool. Thanks so much for the info. Sorry about the misspell (die). I just wasn't sure if the expander (bottom left photo) was missing something because that hole on the stem seems like its threaded so I wasn't sure if there was something missing? Or is the part with the hole the actual part that goes into the case to expand it?

                  Measure the part with the hole, I believe it is the expander. It should fit insde a sized case and have a taper to just expand or bell mouth the case slightly. If this is the case than everything is fine.

                      the only thing missing from that "dye" set is the dye. Otherwise, your good to go.

                          This is a complete set of dyes.

                          I'm sorry. I just couldn't resist...
