RCBS 14808 MatchMaster Full-Length Bushing Die Set .30-06 Springfield

The RCBS 14808 MatchMaster Full-Length Bushing Die Set delivers precision reloading capabilities specifically engineered for .30-06 Springfield cartridges. This professional-grade die set enables handloaders to achieve consistent neck tension and superior ammunition quality through interchangeable bushing technology.

What Makes This Different

The MatchMaster series incorporates interchangeable titanium nitride-coated bushings that allow precise control over neck tension without overworking brass. Unlike standard full-length dies that size the entire neck uniformly, this bushing system sizes only the portion needed while maintaining optimal bullet grip. The micrometer seating die provides repeatable bullet seating depth adjustments in 0.001-inch increments, eliminating guesswork in load development.

Key Features

• Interchangeable bushing system with titanium nitride coating for reduced friction
• Micrometer seating die with 0.001-inch depth adjustments
• Full-length sizing die maintains proper headspace control
• Compatible with standard 7/8-14 thread reloading presses
• Includes expander ball assembly for consistent neck preparation
• Heat-treated steel construction with precision-ground surfaces
• Comprehensive instructions with recommended bushing size chart

Competition shooters and precision handloaders rely on consistent neck tension to achieve single-digit extreme spread velocities and sub-MOA accuracy. The bushing system reduces brass work-hardening compared to conventional expander ball methods, extending case life significantly. Match-grade ammunition production becomes repeatable when seating depth variations stay within 0.002-inch tolerances across multiple loading sessions.
