It's possible that RCBS has changed die forms over the years...I know there are at least three different RCBS die set numbers for the 8mm Nambu; possible for the 7.65 Parabellum as well...

The problem I had with the R8-style collet crimping die was that I could not get enough leverage on the collet/press to compress the collet. It worked by drawing the collet down in the die and the lip was supposed to compress the case mouth...It didn't...The bench would lift off the floor first...
