Lyman has 450b Dies

Maybe I've been living in a bubble but this is the first time I've seen Lyman dies for our caliber.
Midway has them
I have a couple of their dies in other calibers and they work well, but the price seems a little high to me, though the chamber gauge is a nice plus. I'll still take Hornady dies. I love their seating die with its bullet aligning sleeve. Some Forster seating dies have the same bullet aligning sleeve but I haven't seen a 450b set from them. IIRC, some Redding seating dies do as well. Removes the need for the expander die IMHO. I've loaded over 2.5k 450b loads and only had one "squisher" without using the expander. YMMV.
