[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 2230404, member: 9551"] I own a collection of dies to cover twenty-two different cartridges including Wilson arbor press and Whidden Custom dies. For a Shilen barreled AR-15 in .204 Ruger, the RCBS AR series full length size die is my favorite size die. It has a high on the stem expander, similar to the Forster size die, which makes it very smooth and less stretching than the low position size button. The seating die has a crimp feature that precludes seating and crimping in a single pass. I use a Lee sliding sleeve (aluminum copy of Forster (Bonanaza) design, to seat bullets and then use the RCBS seating tie, minus the seating stem, to taper crimp the bullets very gently in place. I taper crimp mostly to hide the case mouth and make sure the case headspaces on the shoulder. Sizing is an important part of case life and I will be buying additional RCBS AR series dies in other calibers. I would not be caught dead loading my 6mm PPC, 20 or 22 BR, 6 Dasher, etc, on RCBS dies, but these are exceptional. [/QUOTE]
