RCBS MATCHMASTER COMPETITION DIE SET

The seaters in this set are great, extremely small run out.

Well made. Consistent sizing and seating depth. The functionality ease of adjustment and the window for dropping the bullet is very handy and a time saver. The price is decent as well.

Really like these. Slim for a co-ax of other presses. Micrometer is solid. The stems are good for standard ogives, leaves marks on berger targets with high BC tho. Looking to see if RCBS has stems that match. TBD. Otherwise love RCBS dies.

fast service, great product

Sets Ogive seating depth to .001" repeatably. Impressive. Highly recommend. Easy to set and use.

The matchmaster seating due is a beautiful die, however, when not packaged separately from the sizing die, it gets pretty banged up. Some simple packaging precautions would solve this problem

I've used 4 different brands of FL and seating dies, and I really, REALLY like this one a lot. Getting used to the resizing die took me a bit and I'm still playing around to find the best possible bushing selection for my rifles, but when you have the shell waxed up properly it gives you a consistently formed throat and neck.Where this set really shines is the seater die. I LOVE how I can simply place a ball in the window and it is automatically held and centered until it's pressed into place. The mic on the top makes it easy to make adjustments on the fly, without having to jack around with the placement of the die itself. It's pricey compared to other seating dies, but the precision and to a lesser degree convenience, more than justify the additional cost.

These are match grade dies which require the purchase of a neck bushing to achieve your desired neck tension. Different brass has different case wall thickness resulting in the need to determine which neck bushing you will need. I would not recommend this set to the beginner reloader. With that being said I have been a huge fan of the RCBS matchmaster dies for years and this new generation of MM dies do not disappoint. I initially received what looked to be a returned product as they appeared to have tumbling media in the neck sizing die. Upon closer inspection I noticed the 6mm creedmoor NS die had been swapped for a .308 die. RCBS customer service is top notch and they had a new set of dies out to me in less than a week with return postage for the used set. This is not the first time RCBS has helped me and their fantastic customer service has made me a customer for life.
