RCBS 1776 Features The RCBS 1776 Carbide Taper Crimp Set is a 3-die set built specifically for .45 ACP continuing RCBS s legacy as the company that pioneered and developed 3-die sets for straight wall rifle and pistol cases. The carbide sizing die resizes the fired case and deprimes it in one step and because it is carbide it requires no case lubrication saving the reloader time and mess during every loading session. The expander die then expands the case mouth to the proper diameter to accept a new bullet while also imparting the case mouth flare needed for smooth bullet seating. Precision machined from proprietary steel every die in the set is built to RCBS s standard for consistent repeatable reloads. The bullet seating die completes the set by seating the bullet to the correct depth and applying a taper crimp suited to .45 ACP ammunition securing the bullet in place for reliable feeding and ignition. This particular 1776 set is part of a limited commemorative offering shipping in a special wooden presentation box featuring 250th anniversary graphics alongside the standard plastic die box used for storage. Reloaders can use the plastic box to store the dies day to day while keeping the wooden box on display or for storing bullets and other reloading tools. This set is a solid choice for reloaders working with .45 ACP who want both quality dies and a piece of commemorative RCBS history.
