Huntington was a dedicated shooter, but found it difficult to obtain quality varmint bullets. However, after reading about making a die to swage .22 rimfire cartridge cases to form jackets for bullets, he began to craft his own dies in the back room of his father’s Oroville laundry and dry-cleaning business. Because the resulting bullets were used to shoot rock chucks – a varmint of Western North America – he named them Rock Chuck Bullet Swage dies, later shortened to RCBS. And while RCBS no longer manufactures bullet-swaging dies, they are the leading manufacturer of ammunition reloading equipment for rifles and pistols, offering reloading equipment throughout the world.
