Description
This RCBS full-length reloading die set for the 7-30 Waters cartridge is housed in its original green plastic storage case. The set includes three primary steel components: one full-length sizing die with an integrated depriming pin, one bullet seating die, and one shell holder. These dies are designed with standard 7/8 inch-14 threads to fit most reloading presses and feature knurled bodies and adjustable threaded stems with hex-head locking rings. Verbatim markings on the white manufacturer’s label on the case side include F L DIE SET 7-30 WATERS, 34801 QTY. 1, USE SHELL HOLDER #2, and the RCBS logo. The lid of the case is embossed with the letters R C B S above OMARK INDUSTRIES and a circular corporate logo.
Condition report:
The steel components of the die set exhibit significant surface rust and oxidation, particularly prominent on the threaded adjustment stems, locking nuts, and the shell holder. The knurled surfaces of the die bodies also show visible surface corrosion. The internal bores of the dies have not been inspected for pitting. The green plastic storage case is intact but displays moderate wear, surface dust, and minor staining from age and storage.
