...Unless You Have 1980'ish RCBS Dies
"...fits all Lyman and RCBS rifle sizing dies..." Not really. The supplied RCBS adapter did not fit my circa 1980 dies. The saving grace is that the sizer ball portion is threaded 10-32 and fits the old sizing rod. One Star off for inaccurate ad copy and the slight aggravation of having to Mix 'n Match parts.
