RCBS Legacy 3-Die Roll Crimp Set .45-120-3 1/4 Sharps

RCBS Legacy 3-Die Roll Crimp Set for .45-120-3 1/4 Sharps

Black powder cartridge shooting remains a vibrant part of American shooting heritage, and RCBS recognizes this with their Legacy series of reloading dies. This three-die set is purpose-built for the .45-120-3 1/4 Sharps, one of the classic big-bore cartridges that defined long-range rifle shooting in the 19th century.

What's Included

• Sizer Die: Sizes cases to proper dimensions and removes spent primers. Cases require lubrication before sizing.
• Expander Die: Opens the case mouth to proper diameter for bullet seating and imparts the necessary 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.

Design Philosophy

This set is specifically engineered for straight-wall cartridges like the Sharps. The roll crimp function is essential for black powder loads, where traditional bullet grip alone may not be sufficient. Whether you're shooting an original Sharps rifle or a modern reproduction, these dies provide the precision and reliability that serious black powder cartridge shooters demand.

Ideal For

Reloaders working with original or reproduction black powder rifles, particularly those shooting classic Sharps cartridges at long range or in competitive black powder events.
