RCBS 1776 Commemorative 9mm Carbide 3-Die Set

RCBS put together a commemorative run of die sets covering cartridges tied to 250 years of American military service, and this is the 9mm three die carbide set from that run. It is listed for 9mm Luger along with 9x21 and 9x23.

The set is a carbide taper crimp three die set, and a taper crimp is what a straight walled pistol case wants. The carbide sizing die is the part most loaders notice first, since carbide lets cases run through without lube. Presentation is part of the point here: it comes in a commemorative wooden box marked with 250th anniversary logos, with the dies still in their standard plastic die box inside, so the plastic box goes on the shelf and the wooden one stays out.
