RCBS Legacy Series .40-70 Sharps Straight 3-Die Roll Crimp Set
Black powder cartridges remain the choice of dedicated rifle enthusiasts, and RCBS honors that tradition with their Legacy series of reloading dies. This three-die set is purpose-built for loading straight-wall cartridges like the .40-70 Sharps, whether you're working with original antique rifles or modern reproductions.
What's Included
Sizer Die — Sizes the case to proper dimensions and removes the spent primer in one operation. Cases must be lubricated before sizing.
Expander Die — Opens the case mouth to the correct diameter for bullet seating and imparts the proper flare or bell for reliable bullet feeding.
Seater Die — Seats the bullet to precise depth and applies a roll crimp to secure the bullet in the case.
Why This Matters
The roll crimp is essential for black powder loads, where the pressure curve differs significantly from modern smokeless ammunition. This set delivers the authentic loading experience that serious black powder shooters demand, with the quality and precision RCBS is known for.
Whether you're preserving shooting heritage or exploring the satisfaction of black powder rifle shooting, this die set provides everything needed for consistent, reliable ammunition.
