Rcbs Full Length Die Set - Group D Bottleneck Rifle Cartridge .338-06 Cal
$99.99
The RCBS Full Length Die Set for .338-06 is a two-die reloading solution built for shooters who want SAAMI-spec precision and consistent case dimensions across their bottleneck rifle cartridge reloads. Whether you're handloading for a custom .338-06 build or prepping cases for long-range hunting, this die set handles the critical steps of sizing, decapping, and bullet seating with the attention to detail serious reloaders expect from RCBS.
The full-length sizer die is the foundation here. It brings your fired brass down to minimum SAAMI cartridge dimensions, ensuring uniform case body length and consistent headspace from round to round. The die sizes the case exterior, decaps spent primers, and expands the neck to seat bullets safely. Integrated vents prevent air trapping and excessive lubricant buildup that can cause case damage—a smart engineering detail that protects your brass investment.
The included seater die handles the final assembly step with a built-in roll crimper that secures the bullet as it's seated. This dual-function design keeps your loaded round tight and stable, whether you're building match ammo for the range or hunting loads for the field. Together, these dies give you the process control and repeatability that separates careful handloading from guesswork.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in this RCBS die set?
This set contains two dies: a full-length sizer die with an integrated expander-decapping unit, and a seater die with a bullet seater plug and built-in roll crimper. That covers all the essential steps for reloading .338-06 bottleneck rifle cartridges.
Will this die set size my cases to SAAMI specifications?
Yes. The full-length sizer die in this set brings your fired brass to SAAMI minimum cartridge dimensions, ensuring consistent case body length and proper headspace control.
What does the roll crimper do?
The roll crimper built into the seater die secures the bullet in the case at the same time the bullet is seated. This creates a tight, stable finished round and helps prevent bullet movement during handling or shooting.
Can this die set be used for other cartridges?
No. This die set is specifically sized and configured for .338-06 bottleneck cartridges. Using it with other calibers will not produce safe or accurate results.
