RCBS Cowboy Dies?

Whats up with these, other than they only include one style bullet seat punch and have fancy brass locknuts?

The RCBS Cowboy dies have every tolerance set for the loading of lead bullets as that's what is used in CAS. The antique finish and brass is for the 1800's. I have the 45 Colt set that also loads Schofield and use them all the time. My set came with 2 bullet seating punches although I use only the flat style.

cajun is correct, they're primarily a cast boolit die. I bought them in 38/357. 44 S&W Russian/44 SPL (that can be used for 44 mag) and in 45 colt. My main reason for them was the larger expander button.

The 357 expander is .357"
The 44 expander is a touch small at .4281"
The 45 Colt set came with two expander buttons, .45100” & .45235”
