The directions,of the X-dies,states you must trim .020,off of new cases???? The cases would be kind of short,to begin with,don't you think??????
IMHO,by the time cases grow .020 and are trimmed,aren't these ready to be replaced??I don't know???
Mountain man.....020 is not as much as some might think.......I routinely trim .030 from new cases so that I never have to trim them again and it's worked just fine for me. No problems at all.
As far as X dies.....if you have to trim .020 first it seems to be irrelevant as to what dies one uses..... I've been doing this for over thirty years with no problems and have never used X dies.
