Description

This lot features a set of two machined steel reloading dies for 6mm Remington ammunition manufactured by Herter’s. The set includes a full-length sizing die equipped with a decapping pin and a bullet seating die. Both dies feature knurled adjustment rings and standard threaded bodies for use in a reloading press. One die is clearly stamped with the maker’s name HERTER’S in block capital letters on the upper body. The dies are housed in a red textured plastic storage case that features an internal molded tray to secure the components. A blue paper adhesive label is applied to the front of the case with handwritten text in black ink reading 6MM Rem / $20. Accompanying the set is an original printed instructional manual featuring the Herter’s company crest, which depicts a deer, a bird, and a shield, along with the text HERTER’S SINCE 1893.


Condition report:

The dies appear to be in used but functional condition. The machined steel surfaces show some superficial handling wear and light discoloration consistent with age. Minor surface oxidation is visible on the black-finished locking rings (photo 3). The decapping pin remains intact on the sizing die. The red plastic case is structurally sound with no visible cracks, though the blue label shows minor edge wear. The instructional manual displays light toning and a small circular brown stain on the cover page (photo 2).
