The RCBS 19112 Carbine 3-Die Set Group B for .45 Colt (LC) is a specialized reloading die set built for handloaders working with straight-wall pistol and revolver cartridges. If you're setting up a dedicated .45 Colt reloading bench or adding to an existing progressive press, this three-die group handles the core operations needed to reload quality ammunition—sizing, priming, and bullet seating with consistent crimp.
RCBS developed the 3-die concept specifically for straight-wall cases like the .45 Colt, and this set follows that proven approach. The carbide sizer die does double duty: it resizes fired cases back to spec while de-priming in a single stroke. Because it uses a carbide sizer ring, you skip the messy lubrication step that steel dies require—a real convenience when you're running batches. The expander die opens the case mouth to the right diameter for bullet seating and applies the slight bell or flare needed for smooth bullet feeding. Finally, the seater die seats your bullet and applies a roll crimp to lock it in place, critical for reliable revolver feeding.
Whether you're a .45 Colt handloader who's been doing this for years or stepping into reloading for the first time, having the right die set makes the whole process faster and more consistent. This is precision equipment from a company that's been refining reloading dies since the beginning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this die set work in my single-stage or progressive press?
The RCBS 19112 is designed to fit standard reloading press toolheads. Confirm your press accepts Group B dies before ordering.
Do I need to buy a separate de-priming tool?
No. The carbide sizer die in this set de-primes cases as part of the sizing stroke, so you don't need a standalone de-primer.
Does this set require case lube?
The carbide sizer ring in the sizer die eliminates the need for case lube, making the process cleaner and faster than steel dies.
What's included in the box?
The set includes three dies: a carbide sizer die (with de-priming), an expander die, and a seater die with roll crimp capability.
