Gun Collectors Dream Auction #83 May 2nd & 3rd TWO DAYS - NO RESERVES - 1200 LOTS!
Lot 407:
Sold for: $20
Description
This lot consists of a cased pair of ammunition reloading dies manufactured by Lee Precision, specifically chambered for the .30-06 Springfield caliber. The set includes a full-length sizing die and a bullet seating die, both constructed from polished steel with standard threaded bodies and large aluminum hexagonal locking rings. The sizing die features a hexagonal adjustment nut at the top and an integrated decapping pin, while the seating die is equipped with a knurled adjustment knob for bullet depth control. Key markings include the caliber designation LEE-30/06-D8 stamped on the sizing die and a partial LEE-30 mark on the seating die. The components are housed in a signature red plastic storage case with a clear lid embossed with the manufacturer name LEE. The case contains empty auxiliary slots for a shell holder and powder measure, which are not present in this lot.
Condition report:
The dies are in good used condition, exhibiting minor surface wear and light spotting or oxidation consistent with age and handling. The threads remain sharp and functional, and the locking rings show typical tool marks from adjustment. The decapping pin appears straight and intact. The red plastic storage case is structurally sound, though the clear lid shows light scuffing and minor shelf wear.
