Rcbs 3-Die Taper Crimp Set - Group C 450 Bushmaster
$83.11
The RCBS 3-Die Taper Crimp Set for 450 Bushmaster gives you everything needed to load straight-wall rifle ammunition with precision and consistency. Whether you're working up loads for a new AR-platform upper or fine-tuning for your bolt gun, this Group C die set handles the complete reloading sequence—sizing, expanding, and seating—in one matched package. RCBS pioneered the 3-die approach for straight-wall cases, and this 450 Bushmaster set carries that proven methodology forward with hardened steel components built to exacting tolerances.
The sizing die brings fired cases back to specification with proper dimensions; you'll need to lube cases before sizing. The expander die then opens the case to accept your bullet and imparts the slight flare at the case mouth that ensures smooth bullet feeding. The taper crimp seating die completes the cycle by seating the bullet and applying the correct crimp for the 450 Bushmaster cartridge, giving you proper headspacing and a finished round ready for the range or field.
All three dies are machined and hardened to RCBS's exacting standards, so you get the same quality control and durability that comes with every die set from the company that engineered this category. The set ships in RCBS's standard green box and is ready to mount in your press.
