ffgats Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) Just curious about this combo ( Body Die and Neck or Collet Neck Die) on resizing brass ( 223). Better and precise than a SB Full Lenght Sixing Die? Lube still needed for the Body Die?, its for my AR. Redding and Forster has all the 3 dies, which brand is more easy to use and better results. thanks Edited March 1, 2017 by ffgats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggerJJ Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Just use the FL, need lube either way... jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglou13 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 you might get better response in reloading section. i use FL and always lube rifle cases. when i shot precision rifle, (.308) i used bushing dies, arbor press....... to get appropriate neck tension but this was on a sub .25 moa rifle. i was a neck turn away the bench rest rabbit hole. @.25 and/or less moa neck tension makes a difference. along with fancy brass, pills, $$$ barrel, arbor press, wilson dies........ if i can get 1 moa or less, from slow fire prone or bench position with AR i'm happy. this is with a white oak 1in 7 barrel, 77 gr pills, and this is with FL dies .... thing is its not often that level of accuracy is necessary. chances are for 98% of all AR shooters the standard full length die set up appropriately will be sufficient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffgats Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 ashamed to admit,but I managed to stuck case on my Dillon sizing die, followed the instructions on how get out the case, unfortunately to no avail. since I might need a new sizing die, was thinking of the combo above, to be honest was haapy with the Dillon sizing die. but sometimes its nice to know to have other options.

RiggerJJ Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) The Dillon FL are good dies. Just have to use lots of lube when doing the entire case at once. I recommend a lanolin based lube like Dillon, and lots of it! Eta; send the stuck case to Dillon, they will get it out Edited March 1, 2017 by RiggerJJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffgats Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 was thinking of sending it to Dillon, but I manged to unintentionally disassembbled the decaping pin which according to Dillon will just damege the die itself. made a mistake, I unthreaded the decapping assembly all the way up, but the other half of the pin is still left inside the die body and brass. stupid me, read the instructions after I screwed up, it should be the other way, lol. happened to me 3 yrs ago, and was successful in getting off the case, this old brain doesn't keep accurate info anymore, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coordinator Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 RCBS makes a stuck case remover. It works well, I've used mine several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dauntedfuture Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 There is no reason to get a SB die unless you have an undersized body portion of the chamber. Some company standard dies are smaller than other company's SB dies. A bushing FL die will not size as far down on the case neck as a standard FL die will.
