Which RCBS 308 reloading die set

[HUTCH 7.62]

Should I get the Standard 308 die set or the AR 308 die set.

Don't have an AR 10, but I do have a FAL, PTR-91, and M1A.

I am also using a Lee hand press

Large Rifle on a lee hand press!?

You so strong...

What are you shooting? Long range? Three-gun?

If you want accuracy, get the RCBS competition dies. If you load for volume then the small-base RCBS standard dies will work. You need to full-length resize for auto-loaders.

The AR 308 set is a small base set. Works best for semi auto rifles with tight chambers.

The AR 308 set is a small base set. Works best for semi auto rifles with tight chambers.

So I should order the AR 308 die set then. In 308 all I shoot is Auto loaders. Bolt action I prefer bigger calibers.

You should see the size of my hands

small base die in a gas gun is a good thing!

So if I start reloading 223, I should buy the AR dies?

Just get a small base die ,for myself I use the hornady seating die for the sliding bushing that guides the bullet into die for seating.

This is what I'm looking at.

I've used Lee. I've had to polish down the expander ball to tighten up neck tension though. Other than that they work good and I like the fact they come with the factory crimp die. Gonna put that hand press to use huh lol

Please youtube this.


My reccos is that you get an RCBS X-DIE set AND a JRRC or RCS OR Lee Classic CAST press.

Get the RCBS X-Dies- Full Length Sizer NON Small Base and decent single stage press.

AND RTFM for the X-Die setup...
