Description

This lot features a three-die reloading set manufactured by RCBS for .44 Magnum ammunition, identified as part number 18606. The set is housed in its signature green plastic storage case and includes a resizing and depriming die, an expander die, and a bullet seating and crimping die. These Group B dies are constructed from steel with knurled sections for manual adjustment and feature silver-toned lock rings. Verbatim markings on the exterior of the case include RCBS, PRECISIONEERED Reloading Dies, and OMARK INDUSTRIES Sporting Equipment Division. The side label contains the printed information GROUP B, PART # 18606, USE SHELL HOLDER # 18, and 3 DIE SET 44 MAG SWC 97. The label also features a handwritten 44 in black marker and an orange sale sticker. These dies utilize standard 7/8 inch-14 threads compatible with most reloading presses.


Condition report:

The steel die bodies and silver-toned lock rings show visible surface oxidation, staining, and some localized surface rust consistent with previous use and storage. The threads and internal working surfaces appear to be in functional condition. The green plastic storage case shows minor scuffs and shelf wear, and the paper side label has yellowed significantly over time with some adhesive residue and handwritten notations present.
