Description

RCBS (Omark Industries era) Reloading Dies for .357 Magnum and .38 Special. The components are housed within the original green polymer hinged case marked RCBS / OMARK INDUSTRIES. The label affixed to the case identifies the contents as a 3 DIE SET .357 MAG/.38 SPEC, Group B, Part # 18208, requiring Shell Holder #6. Only two (2) metallic reloading dies are visually present in the case, along with one (1) loose knurled lock ring. Both visible dies are finished in natural steel with heavy knurling on the lock rings and adjustment screws. One die includes an integrated decapping pin. Both dies bear RCBS markings on their adjustable caps. These components are intended for the handloading of ammunition. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal firearms laws regarding reloading components.
Condition: The set is incomplete, containing two of the three dies originally intended for the set. The two visible dies are in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition, retaining clean, bright steel surfaces and sharp knurling, suggesting minimal use and good maintenance. The loose lock ring is also clean. The green polymer hinged case is in good overall condition with some minor scuffs consistent with storage, and the original label is mostly intact. We have not function-tested these reloading components.
