<pistoleero>RCBS X-Dies.... Anyone use them???
I've read about the RCBS X-Dies, which are supposed to be resizing dies which control neck growth?
Anyone use these with any success, or is just marketing hype? My biggest peeve is having to trim EVERY case. If I could cut this stage out, it would really make my life easier.

AtkinsonI have several sets and they work as represented...I intend to switch over until all my dies are X dies...If you keep pressures decent you will never have to trim...If your shooting very hot loads they well require trimming about every 8 to 10 reloads or so it seems to me..by then the brass is pretty shot anyway...I don't anneal them I just toss them and buy some more in bulk.

<pistoleero>Thanks At, I'll give them a try!
I don't usually retain brass after 8-10 reloads anyway.
