Description

This RCBS three-die reloading set is configured for .38 Special and .357 Magnum calibers and comes in the manufacturer’s original green plastic storage case. The set includes three individual steel reloading dies, one #6 shell holder, and a group of small replacement components such as decapping pins and an Allen wrench. Accompanying technical materials include a blank RCBS reloading data card and printed promotional inserts. Prominent markings on the front of the case identify the set as a 3 DIE SET 38 SPEC 357 MAG, Group B, Part # 18208, and further advise to USE SHELL HOLDER # 6. The lid of the case is embossed with RCBS OMARK INDUSTRIES and bears a partial retail sticker for Herman’s. Each die is designed with a threaded steel body, knurled adjustment surfaces, and adjustable lock rings.


Condition report:

The reloading set exhibits characteristics of prior use. Significant surface oxidation and light rust are present on the exterior threaded bodies and the aluminum lock rings of all three dies. The internal surfaces of the dies appear generally clear of heavy corrosion. The green plastic case remains intact with various scuffs and minor soiling consistent with age and storage. The included small parts and shell holder show light wear and minor oxidation.
