I am trying to put a positive ID on these dies as the "assumed swaging" pair have NO MARKINGS whatsoever. The 3rd die with the wrench attachment is labeled RCBS but i dont recognize it or its intended usage.

If anyone could shed ANY light on these for example: Do the Swaging dies seem complete, are they missing a punch pieces to put in the press ram, are they core seaters, point formers, etc..

i dont want to try falsely jamming something incorrectly and causing more confusion to this situation. Thank you very much in advance!!

Die Sets
Swage Die 1 ???
Swage Die 2 ???

I am willing to take even semi-educated guesses or gut feelings as well. If anyone has any of those. smile

Gut feeling - send a copy of your picture to RCBS and ask them.


No fear, no doubt, all in, balls out.

The swaging dies look like some of the Herters stuff, but Herters mostly just bought others dies and sold them. I don't think Herters ever made any of their dies or presses.

Try googling swaging dies as well as an ebay search.

I suggest calling RCBS (if your think they made them) and asking if you send the dies to the company, can they ID them. The photos might help, but I think RCBS needs to see them.

Looks like the original Rock Chuck Bullet Swage (RCBS) kit that they started the company with.

I can't get the pictures to load, it's an old link, but I think this is what you have.
