Purchased an auction lot of reloading equipment.

Includes some dies marked:
".300 Yukon" & "6.5x300 Yukon"
My internet searches have turned up....nothing with the Yukon name attached.


Based on other items in the lot it appears that:

The .300 Yukon may be similar to the .308 Baer aka .30-340 Weatherby

The 6.5x300 Yukon may be the .300WSM necked to 6.5.

If anyone has information on these cartridges/dies I would appreciate if you could share!

What brand are the dies?  Contact the die maker and ask them for drawings?

Good luck!

Multiple manufacturers, some brass, reamers, etc.  
That is where the clues came from.  
Hoping someone has heard of these cartridges.   Rifles also sold at the auction, but I didn't win those bids.
All were long range benchrest rifles.   BAT Machine actions on all the heavy stuff.

There’s a .375 Yukon on this guys website. Maybe he played with a .300 Yukon at one time?
