RCBS Safari Full Length Die Set .470 Nitro Exp 3-1/4"

The RCBS Safari Full Length Die Set .470 Nitro Exp 3-1/4" is a precision reloading tool specifically engineered for dangerous game cartridges. This two-die bottleneck set from RCBS's Special Order Safari Series brings factory-grade consistency to handloads for large-bore, heavy-recoil rifle cartridges where ammunition availability is limited and precision is non-negotiable. Built for serious hunters and precision rifle shooters working with .470 Nitro Express ammunition, this die set delivers the tolerances required for reliable, accurate field performance on dangerous game.

The set includes a Full-Length Sizer Die with an integral Expander-Decapping Unit and a Seater Die with Bullet Seater Plug. The full-length sizing process resizes the entire case body to SAAMI specification, critical for .470 Nitro Express brass, which demands strict dimensional control to chamber reliably in dangerous game rifles. The 3-1/4" length accommodation handles the longer bottleneck geometry of this magnum cartridge without modification. The decapping function removes spent primers efficiently, while the seater die's bullet seater plug ensures consistent seating depth—a key variable for pressure consistency and accuracy in large-bore handloading.

This die set is designed for reloaders who hunt dangerous game in Africa or elsewhere, or who maintain a rifle collection that includes large-bore doubles and bolt guns chambered in .470 Nitro Express. Because factory ammunition for this cartridge carries premium pricing and limited availability, hand-reloading becomes not just practical but essential for sustained shooting. RCBS die sets are standard across professional reloading operations, and the Safari Series specifically targets the specialized needs of magnum and dangerous-game cartridges where precision brass handling prevents pressure excursions and extends case life.
