[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 475076, member: 15748"] BigSkyGP, You can use SB dies and it won't be a problem. Most Service rifle chambers do fine with a standard FL sizing die, though, especially with Reddings which tend to run to minimum specs. The key here is FL sizing; NEVER, EVER, and I mean NEVER neck size with a Service Rifle. It's an open invitation to all sorts of problems you DON'T want to deal with. I'd suggest saving yourself the trouble with the 90s, too. Not in a Service Rifle, anyway. They tend to be very unpredictable with the 20" barrelws, working in some, adamantly not working in others. AMU gave them up for exactly that reason. They'd build 50 rifles, 25 would shoot them acceptably well, the other 25 wouldn't. You've got enough other stuff to worry about on the line with dealing with tempermental loads or bullets. The 80s will do you just fine at 600, and can work at 1,000 with the right prep. The 90s have a much better track record with Match Rifles, since there's usually another 6" or so, and that makes a world of difference. [/QUOTE]
