The RCBS 3-Die Roll Crimp Set from the Legacy series supports historic metallic black powder cartridges, specifically the .45-120-3 1/4 Sharps. This three-die set is intended for loading straight-wall cartridges and follows traditional reloading steps for case sizing, mouth expansion, bullet seating, and roll crimping. The Sizer Die sizes the case and de-primes; the Expander Die prepares the case mouth to accept the bullet and imparts a flare for feeding; the Seater Die seats the bullet and applies a roll crimp. Cases must be lubricated prior to sizing.
