Straight out of the RCBS Special Order section, yet listed at a reduced price, the Safari Die Series' 3-Die Roll Crimp Set covers straight-wall cartridges typically used for dangerous game in Africa. Its steel sizer die sizes the case and de-primes.
Note: Cases must be lubricated. The Expander Die expands the case to the proper diameter to accept the bullet, and it imparts case mouth flare/bell for bullet feeding. The Seater Die seats the bullet and roll crimps. The .500 Jeffery and .505 Gibbs are made on 1-inch die bodies and require a press adapter bushing (not included).
Note: The Rock Chucker Supreme comes standard with a 1-1/4-inch-12 to 7/8-inch-14 press bushing adapter.
- Designed for straight-wall cartridges

FAQ
What is a roll crimp?
- A roll crimp turns the case mouth into the bullet’s cannelure, locking the bullet in place to prevent movement during recoil or magazine feeding—especially important for dangerous-game rifle cartridges like .500 Jeffery and .505 Gibbs.
Why do the .500 Jeffrey or .505 Gibbs cartridges need a 3-die set?
- Cartridges in RCBS’s Safari Die Set benefit from a 3-die set because they require separate sizing, proper case mouth expansion, and a dedicated roll crimp to ensure consistent bullet seating, reliable feeding, and uniform performance in heavy-recoiling rifles.
