Rcbs Full Length Die Set - Group D Bottleneck Rifle Cartridge .32-40 Win
$97.11
The RCBS Full Length Die Set for .32-40 Winchester is a two-die reloading system designed for shooters who want precision ammunition for this classic bottleneck rifle cartridge. Whether you're handloading for a vintage Winchester or modern reproduction, this set handles the essential operations—sizing and seating—needed to produce consistent, safe rounds. The full-length sizer die normalizes your brass to SAAMI minimum dimensions, while the integrated seater die with roll crimper locks bullets in place with repeatability shot after shot.
Reloading .32-40 ammo demands respect for case integrity, and RCBS engineered this set with that in mind. The sizer die features internal vents to prevent case deformation from trapped air and excess lubricant—a detail that protects your brass through multiple reloads. The expander-decapping unit inside the sizer handles primer removal and neck expansion in one pass, streamlining your workflow at the bench. Headspace is held to tight tolerances throughout the sizing stroke, so case body length stays true and your loaded rounds chamber reliably.
If you're new to .32-40 handloading or returning to the cartridge after years away, this two-die set covers the core work: full-length sizing and bullet seating with integral crimping. Pair it with your press, a loading manual, and appropriate components, and you're ready to start. RCBS dies are made in the USA and backed by the brand's reputation for precision tooling.
