HDR reloading dies

Post by Hawkeye Joe »

I'll be picking up my Les Baer AR this week and I was wondering if the standard Full length die is working for you guys. Or is the "small base" full length needed for proper chambering :?:

My buddy is using regular old F/L dies for his AR .204, and he's reported no problems. He really and truly fully sizes his cases, so they'll fit in two Savages and a CZ, too, and he has no complaints (and I'd hear them! :lol: ) if he were having trouble.
I see the ammo shot at the range quite a bit, but haven't seen the AR shot much, I'll get the chance to see it in action on the PD shoot this spring, though.
Build a man a fire, and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life!

I use plain old RCBS FL and FL size every round with no problems. I have alot of brass though and haven't gotten to more than 4 times on any one round, so I don't yet know how long the cases will last.
