Description
The RCBS .38 Super / .38 ACP 3-Die Carbide Taper Crimp Set (item 20215, RCBS Group E) is a complete die set for the .38 Super and .38 ACP semi-auto pistol cartridges. It contains a carbide sizer/decapping die, an expander die and a taper-crimp seater die. The sizer die has a tungsten-carbide ring, so straight-wall cases size without lubricant and the ring will not scratch brass. The seater die applies a taper crimp as the bullet is seated. All dies use the standard 7/8″-14 thread and come in the RCBS die box; the #39 shellholder is sold separately. RCBS is distributed in Australia by NIOA and stocked at 3 Gun Tactical, Tingalpa, Brisbane.

Frequently asked questions
Does the set include a shellholder?
No. RCBS sells shellholders separately; .38 Super / .38 ACP uses RCBS shellholder #39.
Do I need case lube with carbide dies?
No for sizing straight-wall cases; a little lube on the expander still makes belling smoother.
Do I need a licence to buy reloading dies?
No. Dies are tools, not ammunition, and ship Australia-wide.
Reloading dies, scales and measuring tools are not firearms or ammunition and ship Australia-wide without a licence; powder, primers and projectiles are not included.
