Lot 1073:
RCBS .30-06 Springfield Full-Length Two-Die Reloading Set in Original Case
Description
This lot consists of a vintage RCBS two-die reloading set specifically for the .30-06 Springfield caliber. The set includes a full-length sizer die equipped with a decapping pin and a bullet seating die. Both dies are constructed of steel with knurled grips and adjustable lock rings. The set is housed in its original green textured plastic hinged case, which features an embossed RCBS logo and OMARK INDUSTRIES on the lid. An adhesive manufacturer’s label on the side of the case reads RCBS 14801 QTY.1, F L DIE SET 30-06, and USE SHELL HOLDER #3. The label also contains a barcode and a vintage retail or stock sticker marked 23 66. Included with the dies are the original printed RCBS Reloading Dies Instructions for Use booklet and a data card. Research indicates that Omark Industries acquired RCBS in 1976, which provides a chronological context for this specific packaging style.
Condition report:
The dies exhibit signs of age-related surface oxidation and light wear consistent with previous use, particularly visible on the threaded portions and around the lock rings (photo 4). The internal surfaces appear intact from the provided views. The green plastic case shows surface scuffing, minor discoloration, and light grime accumulation (photo 1). The adhesive label on the side remains legible with minor yellowing and edge wear (photo 2). The instruction booklet and data card are present and show typical light creasing from storage (photo 3).
