The RCBS 14801 Full-Length 2-Die Set for 30-06 Springfield Reloading is a complete, straightforward solution for reloaders looking to set up a reliable 30-06 Springfield handload operation. This two-die set gives you everything needed to resize, deprime, and seat bullets in your fired brass—the foundation of consistent, safe ammunition. Whether you're developing loads for hunting, long-range target work, or general practice, a full-length die set like this one lets you process brass uniformly so it chambers reliably in your rifle every time you reload.
Full-length sizing bumps the shoulder and sizes the case body to specification, then deprimers spent primers in one operation. The expander ball inside the sizing die is engineered to pass through the case neck and resize it to the correct bullet tension, and cases do require lubrication before full-length sizing. The included seater die seats bullets precisely and features a built-in crimp ring so you can apply a crimp to your ammunition if you choose—simply adjust die height to enable or disable crimping as your load demands.
This is the go-to configuration for most 30-06 Springfield reloaders, and many shooters get multiple barrel lives out of a single set of dies. If you're new to handloading, a full-length die set is the best place to start—master the setup and adjustment of these two dies, and you'll have the skills and tools to reload safely and consistently for years.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in the RCBS 14801 die set?
This set includes two dies: a full-length sizing die that resizes the case body, bumps the shoulder, and decaps the spent primer in one step, and a seater die with a built-in crimp ring for seating and optionally crimping bullets.
Do I need to lube my brass before using the full-length sizing die?
Yes—cases must be lubricated before full-length sizing to protect the die and ensure smooth operation.
Can I use this die set for both neck-sized and full-length sized cases?
The seater die will seat bullets correctly whether your cases have been full-length sized or neck-sized only.
Is crimping required with this die set?
No. The seater die has a built-in crimp ring that you can enable or disable by adjusting the die height in your press, giving you the flexibility to crimp or not based on your load requirements.
