Description
This is a complete three-die set manufactured by RCBS, Incorporated of Oroville, California, designed for the precision reloading of pistol ammunition. The set is specifically calibrated for .38 Special caliber cartridges and intended for use with Semi-Wadcutter (SWC) bullets, as indicated by the original factory labeling. The set consists of three machined steel dies—likely a sizing die, an expanding die, and a seating die—each featuring visible threading and knurled adjustment collars. The set is housed in its original rectangular, hinged green plastic storage box. The lid displays the RCBS brand name, the “PRECISIONEERED” designation, and the classic circular bear logo. An adhesive paper label on the side confirms the contents as a “3 DIE SET .38 SPEC SWC,” Part Number 18306, Group B, and Quantity 1. This style of packaging is consistent with earlier RCBS production runs, appealing to collectors of vintage reloading tools. No measurements are available.
