Lyman dies. Where can I find them?

[Armored Metal]

Hey guys,

Got two young kids so my internet time is limited. None of the sponsors I checked sell Lyman dies. I specificaly want a .45Colt set (with a 4th taper crimp die if they make it).

Do any of you know who sells them in Canada?

Thank you

Dies you can buy directly from Lyman. Any particular reason for Lyman? Just curious.
Anyway, add the W's and go here. .lymanproducts.com/lyman/dealer-locator/

Yep! No Lyman there.

However, a CGNer PM'd me telling me to look at Amazone.ca and they seem to have the best deal so far.

1-All my dies are LEE
2-I want to try a different brand
3-I got a thing for the orange stuff

Thanks for the link but I don't find it's worth it buying U.S. right now with the exchange rate.

Try the green or the red ones.
They work pretty well too and do keep us posted on the amazon experience.
I have never shopped there and curious how they respond.

Will do! But I'll only get the dies with my next paycheck. I just took the kids mother's day shopping and went a little overboard :O

G None of the sponsors I checked sell Lyman dies)

http://www.cidistribution.ca/ is a sponsor here and he sells Lyman products. I will also say I have bought bullets from him several times and he is great to deal with.

I think amazon even has some

I checked them out last week and they only list rifle dies.

I have one set of Lyman dies and I will never buy another........(I have more than 110 sets of dies) They are soft and gather grit and scratch cases and I can see machine marks inside the sizing die, which I have had to polish 3 times now and have sized less than 300 CLEANED cases. They are the worst POS dies I have wasted money on...........for me it's green forever more.......

Bought two sets of Lyman dies, .223 and .308. Both had such poorly cut thread the .308 barely threaded into my press and the .223 could not be screwed in. The .308 was so rough inside it left brand new cases horribly scratched. Returned both. Redding, RCBS, Lee or Hornady are the way to go. The only useful Lyman product I kept was the Universal de-primer.

Well! After reading some of your opinions, I found myself doubting Lyman's dies quality. This prompted me to do a little research,only to find other disanchanted reloaders. So I ended up getting a set of RCBS dies instead. Thank you guys for making me discover Amazon for reloading products, where I found them for cheap.

What annoyed me about the Lyman 45 die set is that it comes with a roll crimp die instead of a taper. I imagine a lot more people load 45 ACP rather than 45 Colt so you have to go out and buy a separate taper crimp die. Just a scam to sell you another die. I finally went with the Dillon's which I am very happy with.

Hmmmm... I have 2 Lymen die sets, and both work really well. One is .338 Lapua and the other is 6.8 SPC. I get great results from them. I mostly use Redding and have been happier with my Lyman's than my RCBS, which I don't buy anymore. Different experiences.
