We're always looking for more Simplex dies Waldo :-o

I had a bit of a peek while I was stuffing around in the shed this arvo, looks like I have a set of .17Rem and .222Rem in the old Simplex thread pattern (not sure what that is but different to your garden variety these days (I think one of them is missing a decapping pin IIRC).

Cheers,

If they are for the simplex turret presses they will be 5/8, simplex also made conventional sized 7/8 x 14 dies, I have a set.
Don't know if they are still readily available but you could buy a bushing to use the 5/8 dies in a 7/8 press, anyone with a lathe could quickly turn one up.

No need, I replaced them all with Lee dies and off loaded the older Simplex press too.
