Vintage Reloading Press/Dies... What to do with them?

[Bully]

I have some pretty old Lyman reloading presses and dies. I have no use for them and no idea what to do with them.

Anyone got any ideas?

I have a Tru-Line Jr., a 310 Tool, an RCBS primer arm and a set or two of dies. Is there a collector market or is it garbage. I don't want to toss it if someone would keep and want it.

Thanks in advance.

I set mine up on the shelf when they wear out. Reminder everyday why I love to reload. Topic of conversation to friends that come over and ask what's with the old equipment. I'm sure if what you have is old but not worn out their are people looking for it, whether it be a collector or someone new to loading. Scott

I have an old Truline Jr and put a 7/8x14 head and interchangeable shell holder on it and leave it set up for the 218 Bee and 22 Hornet, I call it the "Bug Loader"

They go for about $50.00+ on ebay depending on condition and accessories.

I actually use the 310 tool. Pm me if youd like to sell it

Every time I upgrade to new or better equipment, I find folks who are new to reloading to take the equipment and learn how to use it. I even pick up super garage sale items and ensure they go to new or younger reloaders at the club.

Help someone put it to use. You'll both feel better.

Pass the old kit on to the youth of today so they can follow in our footsteps. Regards JCS

Although the theory of passing this down is good, the fact is that most "contemporary" stores don't carry dies with this thread pitch any longer.

I'm gonna just post it all on an auction website and see where it goes.

Thanks a bunch for the tips.
