Just picked up a new remington mountain rifle lss in the 260 and have to pick up a set of dies for it and am wondering if anybody has any input on the rcbs resizing x-die.

I use one in 300 winmag. Works as advertized. I'd use it in my other bottleneck calibers if they made them.

IE: 7X57, 8X57, 375H&H

510wells, I do see that RCBS now list the X-Die for 8X57 Mauser. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. I'll look into getting one.

Same here. I use them for my 223 and 260 Remington reloading, as those are the two calibers I use in competition. That means I shoot a lot and often (a standard NRA HP match uses up 88 cartridges, more if you have to shoot an alibi). And I HATE trimming cases.

For my 6.5X55, I am using a Lee conventional resizing die, as I don't shoot nearly as much of it.

I've used the x-sizer dies on 22-250, 300 WBY Mag., and 300 WSM. It does work as advertised. The one difference I noticed is the life of my brass appears to be shortened by its use.

Thany you for the info,picking up a set today

I just purchased a set of X-Dies in 8MM Mauser last week, and just finished resizing 500 cases with them. The cases were new so I didn't notice any difference. I'll find out after a couple of reloads. billt
