Who in Canada has 38-55 Win dies?

I've searched a hundred store websites in Canada. Either nothing listed or out of stock.
 
I-collector Landsbrough auction June 5 Sunday, RCBS cowboy dies and regular 38-55 RCBS dies. Both the same just color. Landsbrough, Triggers and Bows has NEW 38-55 brass on the shelf. PLUS scads of loaded and brass in this auction. go for it!
 
I had a set of RCBS green box dies in 38-55 and was having problems with the seater swaging the cast .381 bullets down when seating. I called RCBS and explained the problem. They were kind enough to send me a cowboy seater free......problem solved. If cast is in the future just get the Cowboy dies and be done with it.
 
fiddler - be aware what is contents that you buy - I think most all the Lee two, three and four die sets here came with a shell holder; RCBS, Lyman, etc. did not. Dies won't do you much good without an appropriate shell holder for your press - I used to think of those as $3 or $4 items - pretty much wrong on that any more - so maybe watch what it is that you are buying, if comparing prices and deciding which to chose to buy ... I have several die sets of most brands - I can not say, at all, that one brand makes better dies than another brand - but they set up differently - not used exactly the same, one brand to other.

I think I have complete sets with doubles of shell holders for both Lee and RCBS, along with some sixty sets of dies. Right now the issue with 38-55 is more of what is available? than what would I like the best?
