Quick question - rcbs competition dies. 260rem


Recommended Posts

I missed that unfortunately, bought redding dies - can't remember what they're called but both seater and neck sizer have micrometers on them and a body die is included in the set.

 

I got a little neck bush too but, in the absence of any loaded ammunition, measured a virgin case (well, average of 5 but being lapua, they all measured the same) and knocked a thou off to allow for a tiny bit of spring back after sizing. I'll just have to see how it goes

Competition 3 die set, Full length resize neck bushing, body die and seating die. About £200 + worth. I think I paid £97 for mine lol

Good dies :-)

I should hope so at that price...

 

Happened to find a review saying the forster seating die's quite a bit better too but hey, they're on the way and I'm sure they're very capable of doing the job.

 

Did you find a replacement for the 140gr a max dougy? I've picked up some 143gr eld-x to get me started. I was after bergers but my local shop don't have them, these look pretty lethal though just not quite as good a b.c. as the berger 140gr claim.

Still got a few left (700 I think) I have a load of stuff I am picking up at the shooting show and on the list is a box of ELD to see what they are like. BC claims and actual BC, are apparently like fairy tales. Not that it would affect my shooting much.

 

I bought a Rock Chucker new for £89 too. They have gone up a little since. :lol:
