RCBS 3 Die Roll Crimp Set .44-40 Winchester RN

1. Precision Roll Crimp: This set features a dedicated roll crimp die, essential for securing the bullet firmly in revolver cartridges like the .44-40 Winchester. The roll crimp ensures that bullets for classic calibers remain in place under recoil, preventing unwanted bullet setback and ensuring reliable feeding and ignition, particularly with lead round nose (RN) projectiles. It contributes to consistent ammunition performance, a critical factor for both target shooting and hunting.

2. Durable Steel Construction: Each die in this set is meticulously crafted from hardened steel, known for its exceptional strength and longevity. This robust construction allows the dies to withstand the significant pressures and repetitive actions involved in reloading, ensuring years of dependable service. The precision machining of these dies results in smooth operation and consistent case dimensions, contributing to uniform cartridge production.

3. Comprehensive 3-Die System: The RCBS 3-Die Roll Crimp Set provides all the necessary components for complete cartridge preparation: a sizing/decapping die, a bullet seating die, and a separate roll crimp die. This comprehensive setup allows reloaders to process their .44-40 Winchester cases from spent brass to finished ammunition with ease, ensuring each step of the reloading process is handled with dedicated tooling for optimal results.

4. Optimized for .44-40 Winchester RN: Specifically engineered for the .44-40 Winchester (.44-40 WCF) cartridge and round nose (RN) bullets, this die set ensures proper case resizing, ideal bullet alignment, and a secure roll crimp tailored to this classic cartridge. This caliber is popular among cowboy action shooters and hunters using lever-action rifles and revolvers. The set’s design addresses the particular requirements of straight-walled, rimmed cartridges, promoting trouble-free reloading.
