I have two sets of dies for sale or trade
#1 RCBS 44/40 dies $25
#2 LEE 30 Mauser (AKA 7.63x25MM) missing the shell holder $20
The 7.63 mm Mauser cartridge was the basis for the 7.62?25mm Tokarev round adopted by the Soviet Union. Although the case dimensions of the two cartridges are nearly identical, the 7.62 mm Tokarev has a stronger powder charge and is not suited for use in C96 pistols or other firearms chambered for 7.63 mm Mauser. However, the 7.63 mm Mauser could be used in firearms chambered for the 7.62 mm Tokarev: something that became important later during WWII on the Eastern Front when the Germans began using captured 7.62x25mm weapons, notably the PPSh-41 and fed them with 7.63 mm Mauser rounds.]
