The RCBS 12201 Full-Length 2-Die Set delivers precision reloading capabilities for .250 Savage cartridges with RCBS's proven Group A engineering. This complete die set enables handloaders to produce consistent, accurate ammunition while extending brass life through proper case preparation and sizing.
What Makes This Different
RCBS Group A dies feature hardened steel construction with precision-ground surfaces that maintain tolerances within 0.001 inches. The full-length sizing die completely resizes fired cases to SAAMI specifications, ensuring reliable chambering in any .250 Savage rifle. Unlike basic die sets, these dies include RCBS's signature heat treatment process that resists wear even after thousands of reloading cycles.
Key Features
- Full-length sizing die resizes entire case body and neck for universal compatibility
- Bullet seating die with built-in crimp ring for consistent bullet depth and secure hold
- Hardened steel construction with precision-ground internal surfaces
- Standard 7/8-14 threads fit all major reloading press brands
- Includes detailed instructions with recommended powder charges and bullet weights
- Heat-treated dies resist deformation under high-pressure sizing operations
- Knurled lock rings provide secure, repeatable die positioning
This die set handles the full range of .250 Savage bullet weights from 87-grain varmint loads to 120-grain hunting projectiles. The sizing die's internal dimensions accommodate both new and multiple-times-fired brass, while the seating die's micrometer-adjustable stem allows precise bullet depth control. Competitive shooters appreciate the consistent neck tension these dies produce, while hunters rely on the uniform crimping for reliable feeding in bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles.
