[QUOTE="Lefty38-55, post: 2476815, member: 95029"] RCBS will describe them better than I'd ever attempt to, so I'll have to refer you to the attached PDF or to their website, sorry. Larry Gibson, a noted reloader and online article Author, tested them in an accurized M1A, where that action is notoriously HARD on 308 Win brass and he would toss them after 5-6 reloaded shots (@ highpower load velocities, which aren't 'throttled' like many here use, LOL!). But by using the X dies, he reasons one can get up to 3-times as many reloads per case - with no loss in accuracy - versus using standard full-length dies. In his own words [I]"This increase of case life is, in my opinion, truly astounding."[/I] FWIW I use them in both a Nat Match M1 Garand in 308 Win chambering and in a precision 24" heavy barrel 5.56 AR ... and they work really well!
