Description
This RCBS Small Base (SB) reloading set is designed for the .243 Winchester caliber and is presented as a cased pair of reloading dies. The set includes a full-length small base sizer die and a seater die, both constructed of steel with knurled adjustment grips and locking rings. The components are housed in a green plastic storage case featuring an embossed lid and a factory data label. Accompanying the dies is a single black hex-head bolt, an original RCBS instruction manual, and a group of three brass-cased cartridges. One cartridge is marked OAL in black ink, indicating its likely use as a dummy round for setting the seating depth. Verbatim markings on the case label include S B DIE SET .243 WIN, the model number 11403, QTY. 1, and the instruction USE SHELL HOLDER #3. The lid is marked RCBS OMARK INDUSTRIES. The dies feature a bright metal finish on the threaded bodies with textured surfaces for manual adjustment.
Condition report:
The two metal dies are in good condition, showing light signs of use with clean threads and no significant corrosion or pitting. The knurling on the adjustment rings remains sharp and provides a positive grip. The green plastic case is intact with a functional hinge and latch, though it shows minor surface scuffs and shelf wear. The instruction manual is present and legible with some light creasing.
