RCBS Releases New 22 ARC Reloading Dies
The new 22 ARC offerings include a standard Full Length Sizer Die Set from RCBS’s Group A series, priced at $51.95, and a specialized Small Base Taper Crimp Die Set from their AR Series at $64.45. Both sets are designed to work seamlessly with either single-stage or progressive reloading presses, utilizing RCBS’s number 32 Shell Holders, which are available separately through RCBS’s distribution network.
“For just about any cartridge, you can bet on RCBS having the right equipment and dies for your reloading pursuit,” said Steve Koch, RCBS Product Manager. “We’re proud to offer options for new cartridges like 22 ARC.”
These dies are crafted from RCBS’s proprietary steel blend, a formulation that has been refined over the company’s 80-year history. This specialized material composition, combined with RCBS’s precision manufacturing processes, ensures each die delivers the durability and consistency that handloaders have come to expect from the brand. The dies undergo rigorous quality control at the Oroville facility, maintaining RCBS’s high standards for precision reloading equipment.
The Full Length Sizer Die Set offers comprehensive case resizing capabilities, essential for maintaining proper headspace and ensuring reliable function in semi-automatic platforms. Meanwhile, the Small Base Taper Crimp Die Set provides enhanced functionality specifically tailored to the AR-style platforms where the 22 ARC often finds its home, delivering reliable feeding and function in these popular rifles.
Both die sets are available now and shipping to customers nationwide, offering varmint hunters and target shooters the tools they need to handload this versatile cartridge. The dies complement RCBS’s existing lineup of reloading equipment, providing a complete solution for handloaders looking to produce custom ammunition for their 22 ARC firearms.
