Need help with dies
I want to get some 30-06 dies... I'm thinking about Lee dies...
Not really sure what ones I need... I know I need full length dies... I'm in the Cabelas book and I see Lee Pacesetter Dies, Crimp Dies, RGB Dies and Deluxe Dies... I was thinking that the Pace Setter dies would work for me...
Can anybody tell me wich ones I can use???
The pacesetter dies are 18.99... I like that price

I loathe pacesetters. I have set for my 300win mag, and they caused horrible runout. I bought RCBS. Only die that lee makes I use anymore is collet dies. Everything else is junk. Even the collet dies will start sticking cause the cheap metal they use for the mandrel after about 3000 reloads.

RE: Need help with dies
This is going to be a little long winded so bear with me. I juststarted loading for a pair of 338 federals about 5 or 6months ago. Unless I was using FC brass the expander ball didn't even touch on the way back down. I called RCBS and after about 1/2 an hour or so of going over my problem she told me they would send me a new sizer and if that didn't do the trick I was to send the dies and the brass back to them. I didn't have to send them back as the new die works great. The service I recieved was top notch, she seemed to care that I had a problem and promised and did resolve it. Guess whos dies I'm buying in the future, yep RCBS

Mr. Longbeard
Just as a thought I would suggest you get a universal 30 cal neck sizer, mine is a Hornady, then you can neck any 30 you have. And I agree with the RCBS thought, they do offer 2 qualities of dies so you will have to make that choice....
