Description
This RCBS neck die set is designed for the .243 Winchester caliber and includes two components: a neck sizing die and a seating die. The dies are constructed of steel with knurled adjustment rings and black lock rings. The neck sizing die is stamped “RCBS 243 WIN NECK” and includes a depriming pin. The seating die is also stamped with the “RCBS” manufacturer name.
The set is housed in its original green molded plastic storage case, which features the embossed “RCBS” logo on the lid. An adhesive manufacturer’s label on the side of the case reads “RCBS NECKDIE SET 243WIN SUPER ST MG,” and includes specific technical data: “P/N: 11602,” “Group A,” and “Use Shell Holder #43.” A price sticker is also present on the front of the case. The interior of the box contains the original RCBS Product Instructions manual for reloading dies. Mechanical function has not been independently verified.
