I've got a seating die with some dies I bought and didn't realize the one is a Vickerman.
Tried to find them on line but Cant find where you can get them from Nosler.

 

[foxhunter]

call nosler ((800) 285-3701) and ask for zack in customer service, he is in charge of it.

This came with the die set.
I assumed it was made by the original owner as there is no info on it.
So now I understand more how it works ,I've got to make the shell holder adapt to my RCBS.

that's a very special shell holder, the upper looks vickerman. that almost looks like a 17 cricket, 25 auto necked to 17 but the neck looks to big, maybe a 20 cal

 

[Bullseye69]

Nope it's 17-25 auto.

 

[foxhunter]

i may be off on the name but the 17 cricket is the 17 25 acp

Ive found 4 different names for it. Dart, skeeter, Eppes, cricket and one other i forget.
My dies are labeled 17-25 auto.

 

[foxhunter]

i have my own name for it, FUN.

Vickerman style dies are nice if youre seating with a conventional press. I mostly use an arbor press these days. Super easy to chamber the seating die while cutting the chamber on the barrel

So got it sorted to fit my single stage press's.
