Re: reloading for .505 Gibbs
I used RCBS dies and I have an RCBS A-2 single stage press that has a lot of room to work in as I shoot a lot of big Nitro express calibers....

I wouldn't own a set of Ch4d dies after my last go around with that jerk, My 470 dies wouldn't hold a bullet and he blamed the bullet makers, Butch Searcy, RCBS, and everyone else for using the wrong specs and then wanted a $50. set up fee to correct his mistake..now what that had to do with me as a customer I have no idea, I just wanted a set of dies that would load my .470, now thats pretty simplistic I would think....He said the $50 set up fee would still be cheaper than me buying a set of RCBS dies, that did it, I suggested he take a flying you know what at a rolling donut. and got some RCBS dies and have had no further problems...All that hassel took several months and I finally demanded and got my money back, then he charged me a $20.00 restocking fee, the sum na bitch....

My 470 NE CH4 dies work very well. Never a problem.

I am not challenging anyone elses' experiences but if you want a headache try to get RCBS to make good on a die that isn't right but has no visible defect. They will work night and day to try to find out a way to say it is in "spec". Once they realize you are not going away they get more helpful but it takes quite an effort.
