  • RCBS X-die .223

    Well, I bit the bullet and just ordered one of these new fangled sizing dies. Hopefully it will allow me to stop having to trim each time I reload, which would be awesome. I plan on swapping out my Dillon resizer and putting this one in my RL550, and then move my old Dillon to my single stage for resizing/trimming only. Anyone used one of these before? Apparently they do work, but running an untrimmed case up into one is a disaster.

    Interesting... so how often do you have to trim?

      you trim once, and never again.

        So does this mean no more trimming a barrel full of cases?

          You have to trim them once .10" under max length for the first pass through the X-die, but after that they will grow about .05 or .10" and stabilize.

            No shit... thats badass. And I just bought several different flavors of rifle dies (.223, .308 and 30-30). I had no idea, that is awesome. Guess its time to save up and put these on the market so I can get some of these resize dies. Let us know how they work out!

              So less trimming in the long run... nice!

                I use one for 8x57. Works good, but haven't more than 2-3 reloads, so not sure how long the "no resizing" will last.

                  its suppose to be permanent.
