Hi, Dee.

Well RCBS, LEE and C&H are the ones I am familiar with.  Of the three, Lee is the cheaper, and RCBS is the most coin.  I use C&H, and have always been happy with the results.  I believe Lee makes a FC die - I have one, that I picked up as a "custom order" but I suspect a call to them will net you one.

By the way, the Lee FC dies works equally well on the 45-75 as well as the 45-60.

Hmmmm.... I think maybe our pard, Dee has a new rifle!

Hey Grizzly,      Does much get by you?  LOL.

Thanks QuigleySharps!     Do the C&H Dies have to use case lube to resize? 

 I have the Lee Dies for the 45-75 and a Lee Factory Crimp Die to go with it.

I will look at the C&H Dies, I did not see them on the Buffalo Website.

I see Lyman now makes a 45-60 3-die set. They are in stock at Midsouth for less than $40. I have always had good luck with Lyman dies. I especially like their M-die 2-step neck expander for cast bullets.

I use the LEE dies. I also have the LEE Loader set in 45-70 that I can use to load 45-60. I would like to find an original handloader similar to the Lyman 310 for it. I think the Ideal No. 3 came in 45-60.

Thanks you all!  I am goin with the C&H/4D dies.  I will check out the Lee Factory Crimp dies, though.
