[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1192718, member: 28965"] I load for three AR15 rifles and a Savage .223 and like the RCBS AR Series dies that come with a taper crimp die. I crimp my blasting ammo but for my A2 HBAR I do not crimp the 69 grain Sierras and use a smaller expander. NOTE, the RCBS AR Series dies are small base, and only size the case .0005 smaller than my standard .223 RCBS die. The small base die comes in handy when buying once fired Lake City brass and returning the cases a smaller diameter. Shoulder set back for a semi-auto is .003 to .006 and the case diameter after sizing should be .003 to .005 smaller than its fired diameter for reliable extraction. I would advise buying once fired Lake City brass, because of lower costs and the Lake City brass has the hardest brass. Meaning longer case life and not crying if you loose a few cases.
