This Group B die set provides reloaders with the essential tools needed to produce consistent, accurate ammunition for pistol and carbine applications. RCBS construction ensures reliable performance across thousands of reloading cycles.
What Makes This Different
This carbine-specific die set addresses the unique requirements of 9mm Luger cartridges used in both pistols and carbine platforms. The three-die configuration includes full-length sizing, expanding, and seating dies that maintain proper headspace and case dimensions. RCBS heat-treated steel construction provides dimensional stability that standard aluminum dies cannot match, ensuring consistent cartridge overall length within ±0.001 inch tolerances.
Key Features
- Full-length sizing die ensures proper chamber fit in all 9mm firearms
- Expanding die provides controlled case mouth flare for bullet seating
- Seating die with built-in crimp maintains consistent cartridge overall length
