[QUOTE="Phil3, post: 801050, member: 17575"] I really don't think you are going to need a small base die. Your existing dies should be fine. I have compared some dimensions between once fired brass, new brass, and brass resized with a Redding full length die. The Redding die does not size it down quite as far as the new brass was, but smaller than the once fired brass. It should chamber and extract fine. Many people think the small base dies are not necessary. And I very confident the overwhelming majority of semi-auto shooters are not using them. And small base dies shorten brass life by working the brass more. Phil [/QUOTE]
