My first search for a used set would be Gunbroker or maybe even Ebay in a pinch. I had several sets and kept the strange one because it interested me. Lachmiller from the early 1960's? If I remember, I gave $10 for them since no one in their right mind ever loads .44-40, right? LOL I was delighted to find inside the cover to the box a former owner's pet load. "11 gr. 4759 / 240 gr. cast" You likely won't find any SR4759 but is is close to 5744 I'm told.

I have a "Cowboy" RCBS set in a gold colored box that is late issue for the .38-40 Win. I'd figure that more obscure than the .44 WCF, the round that won the west (?). In a pinch I think I could get my .429 GNR set to do some by neck sizing.
