The RCBS 30-40 Krag full length reloading die set gives you the core tools needed to reload this classic rifle cartridge. Whether you're working up loads for a vintage military rifle or maintaining a historical shooter, this two-die set handles the essential steps—sizing spent cases to precise dimensions and seating bullets with a secure crimp in one operation. The full length sizer restores fired cases to SAAMI minimum specifications so they chamber reliably, while the seater die locks bullets in place as it seats them, speeding your reloading workflow.
If you shoot the 30-40 Krag regularly, having a dedicated die set means consistent, repeatable ammunition. The sizer includes an integrated expander-decapping unit that deprime and opens the neck to accept the next bullet, and vents built into the die prevent the case damage that can happen when air or excess lubricant gets trapped during sizing. Headspace is controlled to tight tolerances to keep case dimensions stable and avoid unintended lengthening during the sizing stroke.
RCBS dies are standard 7/8-inch-14 thread, so they'll drop into any reloading press that accepts industry-standard dies. If you're new to handloading or ramping up from a single-stage press, this straightforward two-die approach gives you the fundamentals without unnecessary complexity—just size, deprime, and seat with a built-in crimp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this die set work in my single-stage or progressive press?
Yes. The dies use standard 7/8-inch-14 thread, the industry norm for reloading presses. As long as your press accepts standard dies, this set will fit.
What's included in the two-die set?
You get a full-length sizer die with an integrated expander-decapping unit and a seater die with a built-in roll crimper. This covers the two primary steps in handloading a bottleneck case.
Do I need to worry about case damage during sizing?
The sizer die is vented to let trapped air and excess lubricant escape, which reduces the risk of case damage. Headspace is also held to tight tolerances to avoid stretching the case body during sizing.
