RCBS uses a Titanium Carbo-Nitride sizing button for their Matchmaster dies. They won't sell just the button, you would need to purchase the complete de-cap assembly.

At first glance I thought it was an A series RCBS but the are no markings on the casting and RCBS is very good about making sure their name is there.

I bought mine (38/357) in 2019 for $1,050. Another $200 to Dillon got all the missing parts.

No paper work. Got it for a song because it was missing the power cord. Turns out the power cord from one of my old HP computers worked. I’ve done nothing more than connect all the wires and it...
