I picked up a set of "vintage" CH dies in .357 Mag last weekend...anybody know anything about these? Are they worth using or not?

If it contains a carbide sizing die, use them.

I often come across older die sets at the shows, but I'll generally pass on them, not because they aren't necessarily good to go, but because really really good BRAND NEW dies are so darn cheap to begin with, and most nowadays are carbide, even the "cheap" ones.

So as long as you got em, try loading a few rounds and see if they work like they should.

It you see ANY corrosion inside the die(s), they're not even worth cleaning up.
