Lot 200:
Description
This RCBS three-die steel reloading set is chambered for .30 Carbine and is designed for use in standard metallic cartridge reloading presses. The set includes a full-length sizing die, an expander die, and a seating die that provides a taper crimp. The components are housed in their original green plastic storage box. Key markings on the exterior label include 3-DIE STEEL TC SET .30 CARBINE, P/N: 18010, GROUP C DIES, and USE SHELL HOLDER #17. The individual dies bear the markings CARBINE TC 16, CARBINE FL 16, and RCBS. One lock ring is currently loose inside the case, and the required #17 shell holder specified on the label is not included in this lot.
Condition report:
The dies are in good overall condition, showing signs of light to moderate use. The steel bodies exhibit minor surface dust and faint handling marks, but no significant rust or pitting is observed on the working surfaces. The threads and knurled sections remain clean and functional. The green plastic storage case is structurally sound, though the paper identification label is heavily worn, torn, and peeling in several areas.
