Does anyone have a source for 7.65 Luger reloading dies?

I use only RCBS for all my reloading; but new RCBS "30 Luger" die sets are big $$$...eBay or GB is best bet...(I got my 30 Luger, 30 Mauser, and 9mm Luger RCBS die sets on eBay)...

How are they listed at RCBS? I can't even find them?

Part # 25001 -

25001 - F L DIE SET .30 LUGER
Price $ 39.95
F L DIE SET .30 LUGER

The picture doesn't look anything like my dies...but the part # is correct...

Huntington also shows that pic & ~price...

Not sure why it's under "Group A Rifle Reloading Dies"...

Natchez shows them...but out of stock...

A quick Google shows several smaller dealers have them...reasonably priced...~$35...

there's also several sets on eBay right now...new & used...

I recently purchased a set of Lee dies from Wideners. The dies work well. They replace a Hornaday set whose sizing die liked to put little belts on my unfired cases.

Most of my dies are RCBS. but then I had to go to Redding and then Forster for some off beat stuff. Twice the price but WOW!

I had only one set of Lee dies; they had plating on them, and it flaked off...So now all RCBS...

It'll be very obvious by this question that I'm new to reloading.
My question is, the RCBS 30-Luger dies referred to in the former post by Postino only shows two dies. Since the 30-Luger requires a crimp shouldn't there be a third?
I have a funny feeling I'm going to be embarrassed by the answers I receive on this, but what the Hell, let'r fly !
Thanks in advance,

Thank you Rick for your most detailed but easy to follow explanation in answer to my reloading questions.
With some things in life I'm all for taking a chance and risking a little now and then, but the way I look at it, the trick in the reloading game is to go into it with ten fingers, and do your best to break even when it's over.
Once again, thank you for your good sound advice.

Hi Rick:
Understood and noted. I think the rules for reloading are much like the rules my Uncle taught me when I got my first motorcycle;
"Accidents are most likely to happen when you think you're "smarter" than the motorcycle." It took me a few months before I understand exactly he meant, and I still carry the scar from that first lesson.
Thanks Rick,
Adler Auger
