The RCBS 3 Die Roll Crimp Set for .40-65 Shiloh Sharps .408 is purpose-built for shooters handloading straight-wall black powder cartridges in original or reproduction rifles. Black powder rifles remain a niche but dedicated segment of the shooting sports, and this Legacy series die set is engineered specifically for those older, historically significant calibers that modern progressive presses and general-purpose die sets often overlook.

This three-die set handles the complete cycle of case preparation and bullet seating. The sizer die reduces fired cases to proper dimensions and removes spent primers, though you'll need to apply case lube before sizing. The expander die opens the case mouth to the right diameter for bullet insertion and adds the flare or bell needed for reliable bullet feed in tubular magazines or manual feeding. The seater die then seats the bullet and applies a roll crimp, which is the traditional and appropriate crimp method for straight-wall cartridges and lever-action or single-shot rifles.

If you're running a .40-65 Shiloh Sharps or other legacy black powder cartridge and want the precision and control of handloading, this set gives you the right tool rather than trying to adapt dies designed for modern centerfire rounds. Straight-wall cases respond well to the roll crimp method, and the dedicated expander die ensures consistent case mouth prep for bullet seating.
