Rick, I could never see the need for "forming" die sets. Even when I form 38-45 Clerke, I use the reloading/resizing dies to "form" my cases. Yes, I do crunch maybe 1 in 20, but that's acceptable.

Prices on RCBS forming AND reloading die sets from Huntington for obscure calibers like 30 Luger, 30 Mauser, 8mm Nambu are ridiculous...You can literally pay more for the die set than the pistol...
