[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 801853, member: 15748"] Phil, Post was intended for the OP, but it sounds like you're pretty well set up too. No need to worry about excessive working of the brass with the S/B dies, as cases don't wear out in the body from radial expansion. So long as you've got the bump gages and aren't setting the shoulders back, you'll find there's very little (if any) difference in case life between the two. Far more likely to lose the case necks to cracking, unless you're using a bushing die and an expander chosen to give minimal contact on its passage through the neck. Not sure why you want to go with the N/S die for the bolt gun, but if you haven't picked it up yet, I'd say save the money and just use the F/L die you already have on hand. No advantage to N/S, and there's tons of reasons not to. Just a suggestion. [/QUOTE]
