Description
A complete Redding Deluxe 3-Die Set designed for reloading the .257 Roberts rifle cartridge. This set includes three steel dies: a Full Length Sizing Die, a Seating Die, and a Neck Sizing Die, consistent with the Deluxe series configuration. The dies feature a knurled satin steel finish with threaded bodies and black lock rings. Visible markings on the dies include REDDING 257 ROBERTS, FL 257 ROB, and FL 5H 19, confirming the manufacturer and caliber designation. The set is housed in its original hinged, bright green plastic storage case. Markings molded into the case include REDDING RELOADING DIES and REDDING-HUNTER INCORPORATED 17A STARR ROAD CORTLAND NEW YORK 13045. A yellow sticker affixed to the case identifies the contents as a DELUXE DIE SET for 257 Roberts. The set also includes several small components typically associated with die sets such as decapping pins and seating stems. This item is reloading equipment and not a firearm or ammunition.Measurements: Not applicable.
Condition: The set is in used, very good overall condition. The three steel dies show minor surface residue and slight oxidation consistent with previous use but retain excellent knurling and clear markings. The black lock rings are intact. The bright green plastic storage case shows wear typical of handling, most notably a noticeable seam or crack line running across the top lid. All three primary dies and associated small parts appear present based on the visual inspection. We have not function-tested this reloading equipment. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal firearms laws.
