question re dies


Recommended Posts

are dies matched as a pair ?

 

I was given 2 dies last week for a 223 rem and they where both purchased in separate boxes by the last owner ?,

 

so when you see them sold as a set in the green box, are they matched in the factory or is this bull ****,

 

I have always thought that the dies are not matched unless they are for a custom type calibre etc

 

thanks

As far as I am aware the factory make thousands of dies and then packs them into boxes......how would they be able to match them unless they were made individually for each box???

the guy who sold them to my mate tried to say they where a matched pair.

He was right- they are matched-- matched in calibre, that's all :-)

 

Neck sizing only I buy singularly, but when I buy a seating and full length they come in the box together- just the way it is and I'm sure they don't ' match/grade' them

How can you have matched dies - They do completely different jobs!

 

You may have 'match' dies i.e. supposedly more accurately made and have much finer adjustment mechanism but I can't see how matched and dies can be words collectively to describe dies.

 

If you said who the dies were made by the green box maybe more significant.

 

Have to say I agree with everyone on here - dies are mass produced so unless its a custom calibre then just get on an use them and don't worry about the 'matched' aspect.

 

ps good calibre to reload - been doing this for some 40 years
