RCBS dies

[Rugerman77]

Are RCBS gold medal dies worth the cost or is there better options in that price range? These will be for a 300 Rum
Thanks

Yeah for a little more just go ahead and order a set from Whidden.

The high mounted floating expander greatly reduces case neck runout. The case neck is held and centered in the die when the floating expander enters the case neck.

I have not used these dies in years. Any new caliber I have are lee dies. I will admit these were used when I was new to the hobby. I started with the 35 rem in a marlin 336. While I ended up with some outstanding loads I fought with them and ruined a ton of brass trying to get a visible crimp for the lever action. A lee factory was the solution. The 450 marlin was next with a slightly better learning curve with a straight walled case. I still use the 308 dies with a lee factory as well.

I didn't see any 300 Rum dies...am I missing them?

I don't know brother I ain't looked. If they ain't on menu they may not offer them in a standard offering but they will custom make a set. 2nd best option is Redding type S set or Forster BR set.

I like the forsters. Getting a new rig next week and want a die to do it justice. I'll be using 230 Berger's. I normally use standard rcbs die's and have shot some 1/2" 5 shot groups out of 264 Wm and 300 Blk with them. I want something with micro meter I think but I measure every round and load everything one at a time. I was just curious if it's worth the extra cost...and the ability to bump the shoulders. I'm not really educated well on that subject
