    Yeah there was actually two of them and they sold for $230 and $220 respectively. Second one had some dies too
    Also a 303/270 sold for $160 but I know buggerall about that calibre
    Note auction prices have a premium on top which works out at about another 15%

    Sorry @ritchie426

    Didn't realise that was you.

    But I would like to point out that I did hold the bid well before you so technically you were bidding against me.

    They are getting a bit expensive for me now so I promise I won't bid anymore.

    Good luck with the Auction.

    Cheers
    Pete

    Me too, I was born a cheeky bugger...... been refining my talents ever since.

    Looks like you have one serious contender........ might come down to who has the deepest pockets.

    Good luck.

    So you won the auction? Dennis can't load that as he hasn't got the dies.
