Lot 464:
Lee Precision RGB .22-250 Reloading Die Set with Factory Crimp Die and Shell Holder
Description
This lot features a Lee Precision reloading die set from the “Really Great Buy” (RGB) series, specifically designed for the .22-250 caliber. The set is housed in a translucent green plastic storage case with a clear lid. A handwritten white adhesive label on the side of the box reads “+ FAC. CRIMP + #2 SHELL HOLDER”. The printed factory insert lists the following related components: LEE SHELL HOLDER #2 (90519), LEE CASE LENGTH GAUGE (90116), LEE QUICK-TRIM DIE (90284), and LEE FACTORY CRIMP DIE (90818).
The set includes three dies: a full-length sizer die, a bullet seating die, and a Lee Factory Crimp die. The Factory Crimp die is identifiable by a white paper sleeve wrapped around the body reading “FACTORY CRIMP DIE 22/250 LEE PRECISION, INC.”. Also included is a steel shell holder marked with a stylized “S” monogram. The dies feature knurled adjustment rings and threaded bodies consistent with standard Lee Precision manufacturing. A printed insert inside the case provides information regarding the RGB series, noting that these dies are identical to those in standard boxes but exclude certain extras to reduce cost.
Condition report:
The dies and shell holder show visible signs of previous use. There is light surface oxidation and green-tinted residue present on the threads of the sizing and seating dies (photo 3 and photo 4). The knurled surfaces show minor handling marks but remain functional. The Factory Crimp die\'s paper sleeve is intact but shows light creasing and surface dirt (photo 3). The green plastic storage case is structurally sound, though it displays scattered surface scratches and dust consistent with storage in a reloading environment.
