Lot 470:
Sold for: $45
Description
This is a set of three RCBS reloading dies for .375 Winchester ammunition, housed in its original green textured plastic storage case from the Omark Industries era. The set consists of a full-length sizing die with an integrated decapping pin, a neck expander die, and a bullet seating die. Each die is manufactured from steel with knurled upper bodies for easy adjustment and features a silver-tone locking ring on the threaded lower portion designed for standard 7/8-14 thread reloading presses. Verbatim markings on the lid include the embossed RCBS logo and OMARK INDUSTRIES. The factory label identifies the set as GROUP A, PART # 20604, and provides the instruction USE SHELL HOLDER # 2. The printed description on the label reads 3 DIE SET 375 WIN, which is supplemented by a handwritten 375 WIN in black marker.
Condition report:
The dies exhibit visible surface oxidation and light rust, primarily localized to the threaded sections and the locking rings. The knurled upper portions show light finish wear consistent with previous use. The decapping pin on the sizing die appears straight and intact. The green plastic storage case shows minor scuffing to the exterior and a small dark stain on the front edge, though the internal cradles remain structurally sound. The set appears serviceable but requires cleaning and lubrication prior to use.
