Seem that Savage Arms back around the 60s sold their own line of reloading equipment, which was all made by outside vendors, I was in my single digits age wise when it all went by the wayside so it's been around 50+ years since any of this was mfg.
My brother found this old Savage reloading equipment at a local flea market yesterday. Not pictured in the box of all the stuff he got is a new bench top RCBS case trimmer with all the pilots, a set of the black Lee dippers and a three die set of Savage 45 ACP dies. I'm getting the 38/357 magnum dies, and the lead bullet swaging kit and die sets, the entire lot was $50. Going to need a little TLC but I enjoy bringing old gear back to life.
Speculation is that the equipment was made by several mfg. and the dies possibly being made by C & H as they look very similar, the bullet swaging kit may be adaptable to another press of similar design from that era or can be modified to work with another press. All the papers came with all the equipment as well.
