Lot 1583:
RCBS 3-Die Set for .44 Magnum SWC Precisioneered Reloading Dies
Description
A set of three RCBS Precisioneered reloading dies for .44 Magnum, specifically designed for Semi-Wadcutter (SWC) projectiles. These steel dies are housed in an original green plastic storage case featuring the white RCBS logo and “OMARK INDUSTRIES Sporting Equipment Division” text on the lid. A paper identification label is affixed to the side of the case, printed with a blue RCBS logo and text reading “GROUP B”, “PART # 18606”, “USE SHELL HOLDER # 18”, and “3 DIE SET 44 MAG SWC 97 DESCRIPTION”. The interior of the case is molded to hold the three steel dies, which feature knurled adjustment rings and locking collars. The die set includes a sizing/decapping die, an expander die, and a seater die. Omark Industries acquired RCBS in 1976, and these labels are characteristic of that era of production.
Condition report:
The steel dies exhibit signs of use and age, including scattered surface oxidation and light rust localized on the knurled surfaces and threads (photo 3). The knurling on the locking collars remains functional despite the visible surface wear. The green plastic case shows minor scuffing to the exterior and remnants of adhesive residue on the lid (photo 1). The paper identification label is intact but shows light discoloration and minor edge wear consistent with its age (photo 2). No major cracks or structural damage to the storage case are visible.
