I'm looking for the 3 or 4 die sets to reload .223, 45 Colt and 45 ACP. I just got a Lee Challenger press off of Ebay and I'm looking to get the final pieces together to start reloading.

If you are going to reload those or any other calibers i suggest that you look at midway USA and buy either rcbs, or bonanza dies ,or even Hornady dies they are the very best of the best and will last you a lifetime of service i have dies os each of the mentioned companies and have been reloading now for the past 25 yrs they are worth the money and try to stay away from buying on E bay i have heard too many horror stories about their bidding pratices etv any reloading thing that you want or need go with MIDWAY USA they have a big thick catalog iv'e been dealing with them for the last 30 yrs and never a problem with their products and they stand behind all of them good luck by the way get yourself lymans reloading manual #48 i think it is everthing you need to help you on reloading cartridges

Thanks for the heads up Dirty Harry. I looked at Midway and they are in the running for a source of equipment and materials. I got lucky on the Challenger 'O' press. The dies have been hardewr to come by though. I am going to locally at one of the larger gun stores here in B'ham. I have been suprised at the limited amount of shops that stock reloading supplies in the area. Maybe a good business to start up with ammo prices going through the roof.

street cruiser, I have the Lee 3 die sets for .223 and .45 acp. If you have 2 16 rd mags for the xd9 I'd take them in a trade if you'll pay the shipping on the die sets.
