Mako,

I posted on another forum and got this reply,

The S&W spec. sheet date 1918 list the rifling as 6 grooves and one turn in 15 inched. I hope that helps. They list all the spec.s if you need them. Roy

As more replies come in, I will post.

1887's were certainly having their moment in the Arizona territory back in the days of yore...

Who was the lucky winner ?

SASS default is to load no more than 2, but many clubs including most around here,  state "87's and 97's may be stoked on the clock" in the stage instructions.

I have several dies and reloading items for sale.

Shipping is a flat $10.  I will combine shipping with my other listings; you only pay $10 once and that’s it for all purchases at the same time.  (Shipping for a single die and/or any number of shell holders is $5.)

I prefer payment by PayPal or Zelle, GunTab (I will cover all fees including for credit card), money order or cashier's check, and sometimes a personal check.

Items may be listed elsewhere and are subject to prior sale.

DIES:

$25 - .257 Weatherby Magnum RCBS dies with extra seating die, in 1960s cardboard box.
Dies are marked 66.  The expander/decapping stem is a new-in-package replacement from RCBS.
Includes an extra RCBS .257 Weatherby seating die that's rather rusty.  You can pitch it (or tell me not to send it) if you don't want it.

$20 - Lee 6.5 Carcano dies; no shell holder.  There is a second expander stem included; I’m guessing one is for .264 and the other is .268, but I haven’t used these and I don’t know for sure.

$40 - Sealed box of 100 Hornady Interlock .268 diameter bullets for 6.5x52 Carcano.  160 grain round nose.  I also have 20 brass (19 of them primed, don’t ask why, no answer) for $10.

$20 - 7x57 mm Mauser dies: Hornady sizing die and Bonanza Bench Rest Seating Die, in Bonanza plastic case.  Minor surface rust.

$30 - 7mm WSM Hornady dies.
The hinges on the box are broken.  Minor surface rust.  Functionally in good condition.
I can probably find some 7mm Mauser brass and maybe ammo as well.

$25 - Lee .30-06 dies with factory crimp die, in round Lee box; no shell holder.
(I also have a lot of .30-06 brass available, currently in uncleaned, unsorted condition.  I could clean up or sell as-is for less.)

$10 - Lee .300 Win Mag factory crimp die.
(I also have a lot of .300 Win Mag brass available, currently in uncleaned, unsorted condition.  I could clean up or sell as-is for less.)

$25 - Lee .303 British dies with factory crimp die; no shell holder.

SOLD $20 - Hornady .32 ACP titanium nitride sizing and seating dies (these came off a Dillon press).

SOLD $30 - Dillon 650/750 caliber conversion for .32 ACP.  Buy this and the dies above, and you have a whole setup for the 650/750 for $50.

$15 - Lyman .338 Win Mag full length sizing die in good condition, in worn cardboard box.

$30 - RCBS .338 RCM (Ruger Compact Magnum) sizing dies.
I also have .338 RCM ammo (4 rounds) and brass (16 rounds) for another $30.  I think it’s factory ammo and once-fired brass but I’m not positive.

$30 - Redding .40 S&W push-through sizing die.  Great for resizing those cases fired in unsupported chambers!

$35 - Lee .45 Colt carbide 4-die set including factory crimp die.  New-style Lee lock rings (but not “breech lock”).

$40 - RCBS .45-70 3-die set.  Latch on the box is broken.

MISC:

$20 - Dillon primer flip tray.  Has a little surface corrosion (and the remnant of a sticker) on the outside, but the flip tray surface is fine.

$10 - Lyman Little Grain Dribbler powder trickler.

$10 - Pacific #1 shell holder ram, for .30-06/.308 size case head.  Comes in a non-matching cardboard box for a CH shell holder ram with 38-40/44-40 penciled on it.

Not pictured:

$5 - RCBS #26 shell holder for 7x65R.

$5 - RCBS plastic powder funnel.

$5 - deburr/chamfer tool.  I don’t remember the brand, but I have an extra.

I will combine shipping with my other ads for presses, bullet molds, and powder measures.
