I know some of the guys on the BR Forum because they used to shoot with my Brother. I think some of them bought the dies and the brass. Not much help there. I did find a used competition set of dies at a gun show for $150.00 but passed on them. Out of a whole lot of different shooting irons, I only need to pick up the BR dies and a set for my old Model 73 Winchester.
On the 1873, I think I'm going to buy the old bullet making gear on EBAY and a set of RCBS dies.
My Brother actually cut a lot of the barrels that the BR crowd used and precision shooters around the world sent their blanks to him. He designed a new type of BR rifle called the Tinkertoy. You can see it and him at
http://www.zoominfo.com/gunweek077.html. The Tinkertoy and several other BR guns that he developed were given to shooting friends when he passed away.
The 6BR that I have will be given to one of his 2 Grandsons or to my Grandson. It all depends on if any of them ever develop an interest in precision shooting. Neither the boys or their parents know that I have it or the conditions that he set for obtaining it. Like all of his guns, it shoots a very tight cloverleaf.
