Tim,  First, welcome from one Tim to another.  Next, I would look for new dies being readily available from sources such as Midway, Natchez, etc.  As to brass, you should be able to form brass from new or once fired .45-70.  May lose a few to wrinkles, but I often get my brass for low cost or free so it works well for me.  I do have the ability to take it down in steps with a .38-56 die, but can’t say I see much improvement in my reject rate.  If you reform, be sure your starting brass is truly round and uniform on the mouth.  I use the size die in my RCBS set to form the brass, by the way.  No need for special form die.

Thanks Tim.  I’ve searched the usual suspects for dies and found “out of stock” in most cases.   I’ve got a couple of leads to try today that sound promising.

Redding dies are my first choice if I can get them.  They are pricey though.  They still make at least a half a dozen or more die sets for our Winchesters.  Look through all 8 pages of their various styles to find what you need.  I have more RCBS dies than Redding but since the new owners of RCBS shut down their custom shop we have little choice other than Ebay.

Keep an eye out on Guns International/GunBroker….I got 300 pieces of Jamison brass last year for a buck a piece.

They turned out to be 6mm Creedmore neck sizing dies.  Returned them.  

One of the members here has offered up a set of 33 WCF dies so hopefully I’ll be back in business soon. 

Thanks everyone
