Just type in ".38-55 dies" in the ebay search engine. Done. They all pop up on one page in front of you in 10 seconds max.

Midway has both styles of RCBS dies in stock $45-50 range.
Can you load .38-55 rounds with .375 Win dies? They are only $40.

Wish some of those dealers mentioned in the first post with the so-so $450 EG's would come up to shows in western Pa. Went to a small show last weekend, saw a few that were tagged at nearly twice that.

That's nuts. Even in this inflated day and age I just don't see a grey rat EG .300 being worth even $450. The only reason I pick them to look at is for the off chance it might be in a caliber different from .300, or have some other redeeming value.

900-bucks for just about any 99 I see at gun shows or shops is just friggin' nuts and damn good reason to walk on by.

Gnoahh is spot-on regarding the quality of that show. The only thing I regret about moving out of the Wash, DC area was that annual March show. Only held once a year - If you can get there do it. Two brief personal stories:
Bought my first 1899 there many years ago a complete saddle ring carbine in .303. $190
Lots of parts there. Came across a fellow from PA that had a shoe box full of NOS Savage 24 metal parts. Both style hammers, springs, sights, selectors, etc. etc. Forget the price, but reasonable so I bought the whole box. That has re-payed itself many times over for personal use and friends who've needed parts.

I was fortunate enough to attend one time. Weren't many 99's there the year I went.
