Product Description
This RCBS Carbide Die Set consists of a Carbide Sizer Die, Decapping Unit, Expander Die for expanding and belling the case mouth opening, also a Seater Die with Roll or Taper Crimp and Bullet Seater Plug. RCBS, with over 60 years of reloading history, knows how to do it right! Employing the industry’s most experienced die craftsmen and dedicated hobbyists to provide the highest quality bullet reloading equipment. These craftsmen who follow strict RCBS specifications developed over many decades, create more reloading dies in more calibers (over 3,300) than any other bullet reloading die maker out there. RCBS Precision engineered Reloading Dies are for precision bullet reloaders who demand quality each time they are reloading bullets. Every RCBS reloading Die is made from carburized case hardened steel, so expect to pass this one down to your children.
The inside surfaces of all RCBS Dies are precision-drilled and reamed to the same exact standards as the finest ammo manufacturers. Full-Length Sizer Dies for bottleneck cases have vents to prevent case damage caused by air that may be trapped and also to rid of too much lubricant. Headspace is held to minimum tolerances to avoid changing the case body length during full length sizing. Each RCBS Die is properly hardened and polished by hand. This special trade secret RCBS furnishing produces a die that will serve for many years of constant bullet reloading, and wear caused by case sizing. Each RCBS Seater Dies has a integrated roll or taper crimper as appropriate per the caliber the user is reloading. One may even reload bullets without crimping. To seat bullets without crimping, just unscrew the die until the crimp ring no longer engages the case mouth. Large and simple-to-adjust hex lock rings use hex head setscrews. Unless otherwise noted, all RCBS Precisioneered Dies have the standard 7/8”-14 thread, usable on many reloading platforms, including Hornady. Dies are packaged in convenient, plastic storage boxes that are intended to protect the dies in shipping and storage. Includes a convenient bullet loading data label.
Cons: I’ve never experienced this with my Hornady Lock-n-load progressive, but some reloaders experience issues when attempting to use these dies with progressive presses. Personally, I think it is all a matter of adjustment, and some patience :).
