    FS - 358RCE FN swage die set and converted RCBS RC IV package deal!

    I bought the swage die set thinking that it would form a spitzer but it makes a nice flat nose instead. This bullet is perfect for a 35Rem or .356Win but not what I was looking to shoot out of my .358Win. The set includes a converted RCBS RockChucker IV and all punches and holders needed to run the dies in the RCBS. The press can easily be returned to reloading use. I've made about 750 bullets with the dies in my press and another twenty or so in the RCBS to confirm it works.

    Package includes everything but a source of raw materials and a core mold/cutter.

    - RCBS Press with two rams (swaging and reloading) and beefier steel links.
    - Dies, punches, and holders to draw .223 or 9mm cases down to pre-jacket diameter.
    - RCE 358 2.5S FN three die set with all RCE punches including two types of core seating top punches (soft nose and hollow point).
    - Complete set of top and bottom punches to adapt RCE dies to RCBS press.
    - All the necessary punch holders for adapter punches.
    - Jump drive with instructional videos, paper instructions from RCE, and a few extra notes about the setup.

    Will sell for $650 shipped via USPS Priority to any US address. Please PM for more details, Thanks for looking!

    If anyone is interested, these items are still for sale but I have a funeral to attend in Oregon so won't be able to handle a transaction from Monday Dec 3rd until Sunday the 9th.

    Played around with the kit some more and made some bullets as light as 175gr with 9mm cases! They just might work well in a .357Mag, especially a longer cylinder.

    Will the die setup work in a Walnut Hill style press?

    Yes, the die set is Richard Corbin made and intended for a Walnut Hill and includes all the WH punches that Corbin supplied with the set. If you don't already have them, you will need a top punch holder, cross pin, and knockout bar (in addition to the WH press).

    I have a LEE 130gr 270 mold on order to include with the kit. It will make perfect cores for cut and drawn .223 cases and should produce a bullet just over 200 grains. The mold is scheduled to deliver on Wednesday so I'll update the sale to include it after it arrives.
