The RCBS 33201 Full Length 2-Die Set delivers precision reloading capabilities for the .240 Weatherby Magnum cartridge. This Group D die set provides complete case preparation and bullet seating in two essential operations, enabling handloaders to produce match-quality ammunition for this high-velocity hunting cartridge.
What Makes This Different
RCBS constructs these dies from heat-treated steel with precision-ground surfaces that maintain tolerances within 0.001 inches. The full-length sizing die completely resizes fired cases to SAAMI specifications, while the seating die features a built-in roll crimp mechanism. This two-die configuration handles the .240 Weatherby Magnum's belted case design more effectively than standard die sets, ensuring proper headspace and consistent neck tension across multiple firings.
