The resurgence of black powder rifle shooting has created renewed interest in classic cartridges, and RCBS answers that call with their Legacy series of reloading dies. This three-die set is purpose-built for the .38-55 Winchester and Ballard—straight-wall cartridges that demand proper equipment and technique.
Sizer Die — Sizes cases to proper dimensions and removes spent primers. Cases require lubrication before sizing.
Expander Die — Expands the case mouth to the correct diameter for bullet seating and imparts the necessary flare or bell for reliable bullet feeding in lever-action and single-shot rifles.
Seater Die — Seats the bullet to precise depth and applies a roll crimp that secures the bullet and ensures consistent ignition.
