As the title states, were there vintage RCBS dies with the die bodies for the decap/bell die made of aluminum?
I recently bought a whole batch of reloading stuff, included were ~two dozen die sets, some going back into the sixties.
In the mix are 2 sets of 30 Carbine dies. The first die is steel, size only, no way to have a de-capper installed on the die.
Second die is an aluminum body with a de-prime/bell plug in it that says RCBS 30 Cal. stamped on the top of the steel threaded de-prime/bell plug.
Third die appears to be a standard steel seater die.
Loaded up a handful of 30 carbine loads this evening just to try it out. Appears to function just fine.
Aluminum body? New one on me.
