[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 356795, member: 1521"] Boomtube is right. Dies do not make good brass. It's either good or it isn't. The best dies compliment the chamber. Unfortunately this is an abstract. So pretty much every die today will leave your ammo correct, or every die(except custom) will seemingly create a nightmare. The worst die condition I have ever found myself in, was with the most expensive die set. The Tubbs 6XC set(marketed as a ferrari). Had me cursing our cosmic balance, when 10min into use it ripped a rim off one of them very rare cases at the time. Alot of money burnt with further testing brought the obvious to light: My T2K chamber didn't perfectly match the cartridge spec. It wasn't an unusual problem at all, the die was fine, but I did have to get JLC to make me another. So given my luck, I find it cheaper and easier to just go custom with everything. [/QUOTE]
