RCBS Legacy Series .50-90 Sharps Reloading Dies
The resurgence of black powder rifle shooting has created a genuine need for quality reloading equipment designed specifically for these classic cartridges. RCBS answers that call with their Legacy series—dies engineered to support both original and reproduction black powder rifles chambered in historic metallic cartridges.
What's Included
This 3-die set provides everything needed to reload straight-wall .50-90 Sharps cartridges:
- Sizer Die: Sizes cases to proper dimensions and removes spent primers. Cases require lubrication before sizing.
- Expander Die: Opens the case mouth to correct diameter for bullet seating and imparts the necessary flare/bell for reliable bullet feeding.
- Seater Die: Seats the bullet and applies a roll crimp to secure the projectile.
Why Roll Crimp?
Roll crimping is the traditional and proven method for black powder cartridges. It provides positive bullet retention without the potential issues associated with other crimp styles, making it ideal for the pressures and velocities typical of black powder loads.
Built for Authenticity
Whether you're shooting an original Sharps rifle or a modern reproduction, these dies respect the heritage of the cartridge while delivering the precision reloaders expect from RCBS quality.
