RCBS 22115 Carbine 3-Die Set .40 S&W/10mm Auto Reloading Dies

The RCBS 22115 Carbine 3-Die Set delivers precision reloading capabilities for both .40 S&W and 10mm Auto cartridges in a single versatile package. This Group B die set addresses the unique challenges of straight-wall pistol cases with specialized tooling that ensures consistent results across both calibers.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard 2-die pistol sets, this carbide 3-die configuration includes a dedicated taper crimp die that provides superior case mouth preparation and bullet retention. The carbide sizing ring eliminates the need for case lubrication during the sizing operation, reducing processing time by approximately 30% compared to steel dies. RCBS engineers this set specifically for the .40 S&W and 10mm Auto family, with precise dimensional tolerances that accommodate both cartridge lengths without adjustment.

Key Features

• Full-length carbide sizing die with decapping pin for lubrication-free operation
• Expander die with precise .400" diameter for consistent case mouth flare
• Taper crimp seating die that removes case mouth flare while seating bullets
• Hardened steel construction with titanium nitride coating on critical surfaces
• 7/8"-14 TPI threading compatible with all standard reloading presses
• Interchangeable between .40 S&W and 10mm Auto without die changes
• Includes shell holder, load data, and detailed instructions

This die set handles both target loads and full-power 10mm hunting ammunition with equal precision. The carbide sizing die processes cases from multiple manufacturers without dimensional variations, while the taper crimp die prevents bullet setback during feeding in semi-automatic pistols. Competition shooters benefit from the consistent overall length achievable with the dedicated seating die, typically maintaining +/- 0.003" variation across production runs.

Technical Specs

• Caliber compatibility: .40 S&W and 10mm Auto
• Die body material: Heat-treated alloy steel
• Sizing ring: Tungsten carbide with titanium nitride coating
• Thread specification: 7/8"-14 TPI standard
• Overall die height: 3.5 inches
