die set
Taps and dies are tools used to create screw threads, which is called threading. Many are cutting tools; others are forming tools. A tap is used to cut or form the female portion of the mating pair (e.g. a nut). A die is used to cut or form the male portion of the mating pair (e.g. a bolt). The process of cutting or forming threads using a tap is called tapping, whereas the process using a die is called threading.
Both tools can be used to clean up a thread, which is called chasing. However, using an ordinary tap or die to clean threads generally removes some material, which results in looser, weaker threads. Because of this, machinists generally clean threads with special taps and dies—called chasers—made for that purpose. Chasers are made of softer materials and don't cut new threads. However they still fit tighter than actual fasteners, and are fluted like regular taps and dies so debris can escape. Car mechanics, for example, use chasers on spark plug threads, to remove corrosion and carbon build-up.
Want to buy: Die set to reload .280 Dubiel, a belted magnum 1930's wildcat cartridge based on the .300 H&H Belted Magnum. Also seeking old .280 Dubiel ammo or brass. Need to feed recent hand me down.
I have a used RCBS 444 Marlin 3 Die Set that is in good condition that I do not need. Selling for $20. I also have a shell holder I will sell for an additional $5. You pay shipping or pick up in St. Helens, Oregon.
As the title says, I'd like to purchase the die set to load .45-70 in the field. I would also consider a Lee Loader in the same cartridge.
