RCBS Cowboy Dies in 44-40: Anywhere in Canada?

[salon_1928]

Does anyone know of a Canadian retailer that is currently stocking these dies?

I buy my hard to get dies from Huntington die specialties stateside. That's where I got my cowboy 45-70 dies and they list 44 40. They have always been very fast on the shipping and I've often got stuff in the same time as shipping in Canada

Boy, at sixty buckzs, that is a pretty good deal for a three die set.

I almost bought but those are their standard die sets (green or grey box), not the cowboy set. It was actually Wolverine's sale that put the bug in my ear to start looking again.

Prophet River has Redding listed as in stock.
Just as gooder as RCBS maybe even better.

What the difference with the RCBS “cowboy” die set compared to a standard 44-40 set?

 

[dogzilla]

They generally come with a couple of different sized expander plugs to accommodate lead bullets

I have an old set of Lyman dies with a .427 expander NFG for the .430 cast I use so as luck would have it the larger .44 mag RCBS expander button is a perfect fit.Starline and Win brass are the thinnest with Rem the thickest.

Cowboy dies are colored black with gold colored rings in a brown box, to look cool.

Thanks for the excellent suggestions both here and via PM's. I ended up buying from Huntington Die Specialties as they were the best combo of price and convenience of ordering. I'm glad I put the question out there as I almost bought from Brownells and it would have been an additional $20 just on the price of the dies alone.
