RCBS 1776 Commemorative 30-06 Sprg Full Length Die Set

RCBS put together a limited run of its full length sizing die sets covering cartridges that have served in American military rifles and pistols over the last 250 years, and 30-06 Sprg is one of them. The dies are RCBS full length tooling, unchanged from the sets that have been sizing brass on benches for decades, bringing a fired case back to specification so it drops into any chamber and not just the rifle that fired it.

The packaging is the difference. Every set arrives in a wooden box marked with the 250th anniversary logos, and the dies stay in their usual plastic die box inside it, so the plastic case goes to the shelf for storage and the wooden one stays out where it can be seen. The 30-06 Springfield carried American infantry through two world wars before settling into a second life as a hunting cartridge.
