[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1298363, member: 2736"] RCBS dies are very good basic dies. There are better dies to be found that have more accuracy features that can help load better more consistent ammo at a price. you can also go to competition dies that have many good features that can also help improve your ammo "BUT" you first have to know exactly what dimensions your chamber has in order to set up your/any dies. I would recommend completely measuring a fired case that will chamber. check the trim length and trim it to .010 to .020 shorter than SAMME specifications. then load another round and do a through comparison using the fired case that meets the requirements of your chamber. If the loaded round does not want to chamber you should be able to find the problem with the chamber or the die setting comparing it to the fired round. When/if you find a difference, post the differences and the membership can help you solve the problem through adjustment of the dies or case preparation. if different brand or type of dies are needed recommendations will follow. I have and use most all brands of dies and find that some chambers don't need any special dies but others do because of there chamber dimensions and need a die that will adjust to those dimensions. also Proper case preparation is paramount to good loading and should be a priority. Hope this help. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
