Major Art Tillery Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 Long shot but does anyone happen to have a set of the RCBS Cowboy dies for 44Special/Russian for sale? Or any Maybe another brand?
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 There's a set on ebay, VERY pricey. Also several sets of Lee, much cheaper. I use the Lee dies for Russians, seat/crimp together, and they work fine for me.
Preacherman Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 44 mag will work too. I'm using Dillon for my 44 Russian.

Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 I couldn’t find a 44 Russian die so I used a Lee 44 mag die and gently ground about 3/16” off the seat/crimp die until it would crimp the Russian case. It’s an option for you.
OK Dirty Dan Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 For 44 Russian on my RL550B I use the sizing and seating dies from a Hornady carbide three die set and crimp with a Lee Factory Crimp Die. All technically 44 Magnum dies. The Lee die has the crimp adjustment knob nearly bottomed-out, but it crimps beautifully.
Mudflat Mike, SASS #20904 Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 I've got a set of Lee 44 Russian for $20 + shipping if that's any help

bgavin Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 Redding does not make a 44 Russian die, so I picked up a set from RCBS before the C19 crunch. Ordered directly from RCBS here in CA... and dropped shipped from Bass Pro. Go figure. Starline Brass has this brass in stock. Lyman #50, Speer #14 (not 15), Hodgdon and Accurate 2003 all have loads for 44 Russian. I understand there is a special carrier from the Smith Shop (www.thesmithshop.com) that allows use of 44 Russian in '66 or '73 rifles.
