Oddball reloading dies.

[orientalexpress]

I'm just starting to get into reloading. A friend of mine gave me a box of assorted dies that someone had given him (he doesn't reload). They had some oddball and wildcat dies in them. Among them were 222 rem, 30 herrett, and 357 herrett. My question is that is there any value in them? Not neccessarily any money value but more value to keep them around just in case.

The Herrett cartridges are most commonly seen in T/C Contender barrels. The .222 was also chambered by T/C as well as a host of different companies' rifles; it's generally considered an accurate cartridge and held numerous benchrest records back before BR and PPC cartridges came on the scene.

Gives you an excuse to buy another gun.

those are not odd i have all of those the 357 herret is the most accurate pistol i have ever had but very loud

Just from doing a google search i doubt any of these calibers are something I'd be interested in. The only reason I'm getting into reloading is because of 300 AAC and that's as "oddball" as I want to get.

Look on eBay or GunBroker to get an idea of what they are selling for. Some times, rare reloading dies can bring some decent money.
