Description

This lot features a vintage RCBS Precisioneered 3-die reloading set designed for .38 Special ammunition, specifically for Semi-Wadcutter (SWC) projectiles. Housed in its original green plastic protective case, the set includes a sizing die, an expanding die, and a seating/crimping die. The case lid features a white and green printed RCBS logo within a rectangular border, a central diagonal white banner reading PRECISIONEERED Reloading Dies in green text, and an OMARK INDUSTRIES Sporting Equipment Division logo at the bottom. A yellow adhesive paper label on the side of the case reads RCBS, GROUP B, PART # 11306, USE SHELL HOLDER # 6, and 3 DIE SET 38 SPECIAL SWC 97. The dies are constructed of steel with knurled adjustment rings and locking collars. The interior of the case is molded specifically to secure the three components.


Condition report:

The set is in used vintage condition. The steel dies show varying degrees of surface oxidation and rust, most notably on the threaded adjustment stem of the center die (photo 3). The locking ring on the leftmost die has a visible vertical crack through the metal (photo 3). The green plastic case shows external scuffing, surface dirt, and remains of a paper adhesive price tag on the upper right corner of the lid (photo 1). The interior shows minor debris and age-related wear.
