Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 1343:
Description
This lot features a vintage Hornady New Dimension two-die rifle reloading set for the .30-30 Winchester cartridge. The set is housed in its original red translucent plastic storage case with a decorative black, white, and red cardboard sleeve. The end label on the sleeve identifies this as a Series I “2 – Die Set / Full Length” with “Part No. 044342” for “.30 – 30”. It is also marked for “Shellholder 2”. The set consists of a full-length resizing die and a bullet seating die, both constructed with knurled steel bodies and adjustable locking rings. Included with the dies is a separate RCBS shell holder, still contained in its original plastic packaging from Omark Industries of Oroville, California. The shell holder bag is marked with the part number “09202”. The cardboard sleeve bears the Hornady Manufacturing Co. address of Box 1848, Grand Island, NE 68802.
Condition report:
The dies and accessories are in good vintage condition. The steel die bodies show small, scattered spots of surface oxidation and minor handling marks consistent with use (Photo 3 and 4). The knurling remains sharp. The red plastic case is intact without visible cracks. The cardboard sleeve shows shelf wear, including scuffing, edge wear, and small tears at the corner folds (Photo 1 and 2). The RCBS shell holder remains in its original, unopened plastic packaging, which shows minor discoloration and light surface dirt (Photo 3 and 5).
