This assortment of ammunition reloading and precision measuring equipment includes tools from manufacturers RCBS, Hornady, and Frankford Arsenal. The collection features an RCBS Electronic Digital Caliper, model number 87323, contained in its original green and black cardboard box.

The primer feed box displays a printed logo for “RCBS PRECISIONEERED RELOADING EQUIPMENT” alongside a graphic of a bear within a crosshair.
