Description

For handloaders chambering .26 Nosler, the RCBS .26 Nosler Full-Length 2-Die Set (RCBS part no. 26501) is a full-length two-die set from RCBS that covers sizing and bullet seating in a single purchase. It is designed to bring fired .26 Nosler brass back to factory-correct dimensions before seating a new bullet, so every finished round chambers and feeds the way it should. RCBS has built its reputation on tight-tolerance dies, and this set reflects that same standard in the .26 Nosler chamber. It is a dependable choice whether you are loading for a hunting rifle, a precision build, or simply keeping a steady supply of .26 Nosler on hand.

Key Specifications

  • Machined specifically for the .26 Nosler cartridge, so every die in the set is cut to that cartridge’s own dimensions rather than a universal fit.
  • The Full-Length Sizer Die combines an integrated expander-decapping unit, so it resizes the case, knocks out the spent primer, and expands the neck to accept a new bullet in a single pass.
  • Sizing brings fired brass back to SAAMI minimum cartridge dimensions, restoring reliable chambering even in a tight factory chamber.
  • Vent ports in the sizer die body release trapped air and excess case lube, a detail that keeps cases from denting or sticking mid-stroke.
  • Headspace is held to minimum tolerances during sizing, so the case body is not over-worked or stretched with every reloading cycle.
  • The Seater Die includes a bullet seater plug with a built-in roll crimper, seating the bullet and applying the crimp in the same stroke.
  • Because the sizer die is steel rather than carbide, cases need a light coat of case lube before sizing to prevent them from sticking in the die.
