Cowboy Action Shooting is just about the fastest growing shooting sport around. Not only are the usual competition traits of speed and accuracy required, but the shooter must recreate the spirit of the 1880s. Guns, ammo and costumes must fit the period. Jacketed bullets aren't permitted by Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS™) rules. Making ammo that fits the Old West image means loading lead bullets. It also means that the bullets must be designed to work properly in lever-action rifles and single-action revolvers. Loading dies must be optimized for lead bullets. That's where the new RCBS Cowboy dies and bullet moulds come in.

Our Cowboy dies are built to slightly different dimensions than our regular dies to allow optimum sizing, expanding, seating and crimping needed to load great lead bullet ammo. In keeping with the spirit of the game, Cowboy dies even look different. Instead of the satin steel finish on the other RCBS dies, Cowboy dies have a "case-hardened" look. Handsome brass lock rings complete the picture, and even the packaging reflects the Cowboy theme. New Cowboy moulds produce bullets that are profiled to give smooth feeding and follow the design of a century ago. Beveled crimping grooves set the proper cartridge length and improve consistency, and generous lube grooves hold enough lubricant even for black powder loads. Whether you're a serious cowboy competitor or just having fun, RCBS Cowboy products will load the ammo you need.
