[QUOTE="Hondo64d, post: 2297614, member: 1390"] Regular dies should work fine provided you are virgin brass or brass that has only been fired in your rifle. If you are using milsurp or other brass that was fired in someone else’s rifle, then, at least for the initial sizing, a small base die is a safer bet. All that being said, I have found Forster dies to size the case body a little smaller than most and have loaded literally thousands of milsurp brass without using a small base die, instead using Forster FL dies. They have all functioned flawlessly in my AR. John [/QUOTE]
