best dies for the 416 Rigby
HI,

I am gettin a 416 Rigby, done by MR. Brockman, and I thought I would get supples.I have a 550 Dill press and they do not have dies for the 416 Rigby so I was thinking of going with Redding as I think they are the best?,I have used some RCBS dies before and I am not to crazy about them, what do you think?.Kev

RCBS, CH4 & redding are all brands I am happy with. I use RCBS .416 Rigby dies and am happy with them, will the Dillon 550b progressive be able to load .416 Rigby ??

Get the reddings. The new RCBS dies have a smaller (smaller than the older RCBS dies) stem in the sizing die and I have already broken 2 of them in my 416 Rigby dies. On the positive note, RCBS has been johnny on the spot and replaced the stems real quick, no questions asked. I haven't had any problems since I trashed the Bell brass and started loading Norma brass. RCBS are good dies but Reddings are better. You get what you pay for.

My .416 Rigby dies are RCBS and I've yet to have a problem. I am sure Reddings are good, they better be for almost a C note! Bill T.
