[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2674307, member: 115658"] I use a Redding .223 small base die as a first step in making .20P ammo using once fired .223 brass (fired in unknown chamber(s)). Occasionally, there is an over dimensioned case that when fired sticks in the chamber so tightly that the rim gets ripped off & the case needs to be driven out of the chamber with a rod - the small base die fixes this. If new brass is fired in a chamber, there should be little case expansion to warrant the use of a small base die with a bolt gun. I use once fired 6.5CM brass for my 6mm & 6.5mm CM bolt guns. I use Lee 6.5 CM F/L die without expander to initially size this brass then neck down or expand necks with 6.5CM & 6CM Lee collet dies. I have found Lee F/L dies to have close inner dimensions as small base dies. [/QUOTE]
