Description

This lot features two vintage full-length 2-die sets manufactured by RCBS during the era of ownership by Omark Industries, specifically the Sporting Equipment Division. These precision-engineered tools are designed for the .243 Winchester caliber and are identified by part number 11401. Both sets are intended for use with a #3 shell holder. The dies are constructed of hardened steel with knurled adjustment surfaces for precise handling and feature stamped RCBS manufacturer markings. Each set is housed in its original signature green plastic storage case with Omark Industries branding. One set includes the original RCBS Reloading Die Instructions booklet and a small spare part, likely a replacement decapping pin. These sets represent a significant period in American handloading history, reflecting the high manufacturing standards of the late 20th century.
