RCBS X-Sizer die .. anybody have imput?

[SuperXJeff]

I am trying to come up with a pro- con list for these dies. I can't see any reason they would not be good for the real brass stretchers like 22 -250. Anybody know why they should NOT be used?

I have gone to RCBS 'X' dies for my RRA NM4, DPMS LR260, and Springfield 03.

I don't like the chore of trimming brass and the RCBS 'X' die sets reduce this activity.

I think you will realize the most benefit from X-dies when using it for a gas gun. Google 'x-dies larry gibson' and read the thread that he posted. He began using X-dies with an M1A and went from 4 loads to 20+ loads for a lot of brass. That convinced me to buy X-dies for <span style="font-style: italic">all</span> my gas gun cartridges.

I have been using X-Dies for a couple of years now for my .308 and .223. I have 5 firings on the .308's and 4 with the .223's and have had NO problems what so ever and best of all, all these cases have only been trimmed once.

These dies have saved me a ton of time and effort because I rotate 500+ pieces of brass for each of these.

Will they extend the life of the brass? Time will tell, but is sure looks like it's not shortening it.
