Hey! *I'm* one of those idiots!!!

If I could have gotten it for under a C-note, it would have been worth it not to have to wait three months for a 'special order' new die set...

FWIW: I made up an 'expander die' to expand 38 Special cases to 8mm nambu diameter...Works great, but as sometimes happens with my 'good enough' work, the threads were a bit rough. I used the 'coarse' rubbing compound to lap the threads into the press. That also worked out fine.
