So I was at the Midland gun show and found a set of RCBS .270 winchester dies for $18 (Full length sizing dies), but there was something about them that made me take a closer look. They were an older set, atleast 30 years old just looking at them. The sizing die was completely gunked up with lube, not a good sign. The seating die was almost mint and there was a third die present that was covered in sizing lube, but it wasn't a neck sizer. I looked closer and discovered it was an RCBS trim die. They came home with me knowing that RCBS would help me get things going if the sizing die was a loss. When I got the dies home I got out the brake cleaner and washed off the sizer enough that I could get it apart, and completely washed off the trim die. After cleaning all three and inspecting them I have concluded that the trim die was almost never used. The sizer is nearly mint as well, now that its clean, and the seater/crimper die is nearly mint. Now I can read the dates on them as well, they read 70, so at least 30 years old became 42 years old. So now I sit here with a clean, almost new condition set of dies worth over $60 had I bought them new that cost me $18 out the door.
Oh BTW the table with all the machine guns, grenades, rocket launchers, RPGs, and heavy weapons was completely surrounded by mexican drug gangs getting everything they needed including 60,000 rounds of ammo without background checks or the FBI being notified.

How do you explain a dog named Sauer without first telling the story of a Puppy named Sig?
