Another recommended vendor of mine is Grafs and Sons, another big online seller of reloading supplies
They also ship overseas as well.

I'm looking for a way to load 43 Egyptian, hoping to find RCBS 32 win special dies and any 50/70 dies

For $340 you can probably make the die-set from scratch to match your chamber.
Have you already done a chamber cast to get the dimensions?
This is from Barnes' Cartridges of the World 13th Edition in case you don't have it.
Depending on actual bore diameter you could also make up some chamber adapters and shoot a cartridge easier to get/make, at least until you get dies.

Yeah so the chamber is almost perfect .43 Egyptian measurements, but then the bore is only .439
I got talking to some guys on a rolling block forum. They said this is fairly common as 43 spanish barrels were used to get Egyptian rifles out the door fast.
Mine has been cut down to a carbine. All it's military markings have been/ tried to be removed

I already have .430 hardcast lead projectiles for my 44mag and .427 for 44-40.
I've already bought 20pieces of 43Egyptian brass from Bruce.
What do you think of if I were to paper patch these and push them down onto 2F in the Egyptian brass?
I bought a heap of 577snider gear from a bloke who said he didnt bother resizing, he would just reprime, powder and push paper patched projectiles back in by hand
