The RCBS Full Length Die Set for .26 Nosler is a two-die reloading setup built for precision bottleneck rifle cartridge reloading. Whether you're loading for a custom long-range build, a specialized hunting rifle, or simply exploring the capabilities of this modern magnum, a quality die set is the foundation of consistent, safe ammunition. This Group D set gives you everything needed to resize fired cases and seat bullets, making it an ideal starting point for reloaders new to the .26 Nosler or those upgrading from basic equipment.
The full length sizing die in this set performs three critical jobs: it bumps the shoulder of your bottleneck cases to the correct headspace (adjustable in the press so you can fine-tune shoulder setback), it sizes the body of the case for reliable chambering in your rifle, and it removes the spent primer. An internal expander ball sizes the case neck to the proper bullet tension as it passes through. To work properly, cases must be lubricated before running them through the sizing die—a simple step that protects your brass and extends die life. The included seater die seats bullets with precision and features a built-in crimp ring, so you can choose to apply a light crimp or omit it entirely by adjusting the die height in your press.
Many serious reloaders shoot through multiple barrels and rifle lifespans on a single RCBS die set, making this a worthwhile investment in consistency and reliability. RCBS recommends that newcomers to reloading start with a full length die set and master proper die setup before experimenting with neck-sizing or other specialized techniques. This .26 Nosler set is designed to handle the demands of a powerful, precision cartridge and deliver the repeatable results you need downrange.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in this RCBS .26 Nosler die set?
The set includes a full length sizing die and a seater die. The sizing die handles case resizing, shoulder bumping, decapping, and neck expansion. The seater die seats bullets and features an adjustable crimp ring for optional case crimping.
Do I need to lubricate my brass before using the sizing die?
Yes. Cases must be lubricated before full length sizing to protect both the brass and the die and ensure smooth operation.
Can I adjust the shoulder bump on the sizing die?
Yes. The full length sizing die allows you to adjust shoulder bump by raising or lowering the die in your reloading press. RCBS recommends using a cartridge headspace gage tool to set the correct shoulder bump.
Can I crimp rounds with the seater die, or is it optional?
Crimping is optional. The built-in crimp ring can be engaged or disengaged by adjusting the seater die height in your press, giving you control over whether to apply a crimp to your finished rounds.
