Description

Vintage RCBS (Rock Chucker Bullet Swaging) 3-Die Reloading Set, Part Number 18205, manufactured by RCBS, Inc. of Oroville, California. This set is specifically calibrated for the .357 Magnum cartridge and is designated for use with Round Nose (RN) bullets. The set includes three silver-tone steel reloading dies—typically a sizing die, an expanding die, and a seating/crimping die—each featuring heavily knurled adjustment and locking rings characteristic of RCBS production during this era. Also included is one separate flat metal lock ring. The dies are housed in their original rectangular green plastic storage case, which features the classic RCBS logo, the trademark “PRECISIONEERED,” and the Oroville address. The yellow side label indicates the contents and includes the number ’77’, suggesting an approximate manufacturing date of 1977. This set is a desirable piece of vintage reloading equipment from a highly respected manufacturer, appealing to both active reloaders and collectors of shooting accessories. No dimensions available.
