reloading Q
« on: August 31, 2012, 03:58:59 PM »
Will a die from a redding fit on a dillion?
 
thinking of getting started reloading and checking out companies with different die and offerings. 
 
example:
 
The only ones making a .243AI die is redding, but I'd like a Dillon press so would the redding dies work on the dillon press,or RCBS ?
 
I want
 
10mm/40SW
.243 AI
.243
30-06
9x25 dillon
.308
6.5 Grendel
6.8 SPC
.300 WM
 
bunch more too eventually

dies are dies...

Threads and such are all to universally accepted standards..  I use Redding in my RCBS and Lee presses.. and I have used RCBS dies in a Dillon Press way back when I had a buddy that owned one.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Yep. I would strongly suggest on the longer necked cases to get the carbide dies if you can swing it along with some Dillon case lube. Trust me...using the case extractor is not much fun and the carbide dies and a little lube go a long way.

Older thread of mine....

Get what you need to extract a stuck case from a die--you WILL need to do it eventually, so having the stuff on hand to do the job will ease the pain.  Pliers or Vise Grips won't work.  Don't even try!
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

When Bernie Madoff did it, it's called a "Ponzi Scheme"
When Government does it, it's called "Social Security"
