RCBS Full Length 2 Die Set .338 Federal Product description

  1. Full Length Sizing: This die set is engineered to full-length resize fired cases, restoring them to factory specifications. This critical step ensures that your reloaded ammunition will chamber smoothly and reliably in your firearm, preventing feeding issues, especially vital for hunters and sport shooters in the field. It also includes an integrated decapping pin to remove spent primers during the sizing process.

  2. Precision Bullet Seating: The second die precisely seats bullets into the resized cases. Its design guarantees consistent bullet seating depth, which is paramount for achieving optimal accuracy and uniform ballistic performance. The polished interior surfaces minimize drag, ensuring smooth operation and protecting the brass.

  3. Durable Construction: Crafted from heat-treated steel, these dies are built to withstand the rigors of high-volume reloading. Their robust construction ensures exceptional longevity and resistance to wear, making them a reliable choice for dedicated handloaders. The investment in quality materials translates directly into more consistent and safer reloads over thousands of cycles.

  4. Versatile Application: Suitable for both bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles chambered in .338 Federal, this 2-die set offers excellent versatility. It's an indispensable tool for shooters who demand high-quality, dependable ammunition for hunting, target practice, or competitive shooting, providing the foundation for creating ammunition that performs identically to factory loads.

ABOUT THE RCBS Full Length 2 Die Set .338 Federal

The RCBS Full Length 2 Die Set for .338 Federal stands out as a fundamental tool for any serious reloader seeking to produce high-quality, reliable ammunition. Designed specifically for the .338 Federal cartridge, this set ensures that fired cases are meticulously resized to factory specifications, a critical step for consistent chambering and preventing feeding malfunctions, particularly in demanding conditions often encountered by hunters. Unlike neck sizing dies, full-length sizing is essential for ammunition that will be fired in multiple firearms, or in semi-automatic rifles where tighter tolerances are common. Each die is precision-machined from robust, heat-treated steel, providing exceptional durability and a long service life. The set expertly performs two primary functions: the full-length sizing die restores the case body and neck while decapping the spent primer, and the bullet seating die precisely positions the projectile, often with an integrated crimping shoulder for secure bullet retention. This ensures maximum concentricity and uniformity, leading to improved accuracy downrange.
