Description

A specialized RCBS reloading die set, designated as the “3-DIE CARB TC SET .45 AUTO,” designed for the precise reloading of .45 Automatic caliber ammunition. The set is housed in its original light gray/tan textured plastic hinged storage case, featuring the RCBS logo molded into the lid. The side label confirms the contents, Part Number 18915, Group B, and specifies the use of Shell Holder #03. The set includes three threaded steel reloading dies, secured in internal recesses, which feature carbide construction for enhanced durability and reduced lubrication requirements during sizing (implied by “CARB TC”). Also included are the original paper parts list and instruction booklet (listing parts for 2-die sets, P/N 09604 and 87501), and a small, sealed plastic bag containing accessories. The accessory bag is marked “RELOADING EQUIPMENT” and confirms the manufacturer as RCBS, Oroville, CA, noting the country of origin as “MADE IN U.S.A.” This set represents modern American-made reloading equipment, likely dating to the late 20th or early 21st century.
