Hi everyone,

I have a quick question. Are these dies cartridge specific or are they caliber specific? In other words, can you use the same die for the .308, .30/06, .300 WM, or would you need to purchase 3 separate dies?

Thanks

They're cartridge specific, but with a little modification, some of them can be made to work with cartridges that they don't offer them for.

FC dies are not entirely cartridge specific but you'd need three different dies for the cartridges you mentioned.

I use a 300 WBY FC die for my 300 H&H loads and it works just fine.
