I won’t bother to one up with a total list. I will add the #1 rule of loading.
Never, I repeat Never sell a set of dies unless you have multiple sets of same. The #2 rule of loading is that if you sell your dies when you sell the gun, the following day you will get anther gun for same cartridge and you will have to buy dies again. #3 rule of loading, don’t loan you tools. If people want to dance let them pay the band. I’m selling out a lot of guns and dies. Those dies that I didn’t sell were used many times. I would hate to have to replace the dies I have sold recently. Many are now in premium priced categories. The bulk of my dies I bought used through the years.
When you have a large collection of dies lots of times you can use parts or dies from different sets to form and load for Wildcats or obsolete cartridges. I have made up dies from modifying others.
No point in having all those dies if you don’t have a couple hundred bullet molds, sizing presses and sizing dies to go with them.
