Dimensions: 0.5×55
Condition report:
The dies are in good, used condition. The knurled steel bodies exhibit minor surface wear, light oxidation within the textured areas, and typical residue from previous reloading activities. All threads on the die bodies and internal adjustment rods appear sharp and functional. The decapping pins on the sizing dies are present and intact. The lock rings show minor tool marks on the set screws but remain fully adjustable. We have not function-tested these dies for dimensional precision or concentricity.
