[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1147161, member: 48043"] The only difference between small base and regular fl dies is that sb dies will take the brass down to normal factory dimensions, while regular fl dies usually are a bit on the large side... That said, I wouldn't use a die in a manner that doesn't fully close the die; it invites canted brass and possible run out. I've seen first hand with one of my 7stw barrels where this makes a world of difference. I'm talking about 1 inch 200 yard groups turning into 3 inch groups by partial fl sizing. same day, same load, two die settings.... [/QUOTE]
