Revolutionary reloading die set that eliminates repetitive case trimming. RCBS X Die uses a patented mandrel design to control case growth, requiring only one initial trim. Includes sizer and seater dies for .223 Remington.
The RCBS X Die Small Base Die Set represents a genuine innovation in reloading technology. This patented system solves one of reloading's most tedious chores: the constant need to trim cases after repeated sizing cycles.
The X Die's specially designed mandrel features an integrated expander ball and decapping pin. The mandrel's extremely close tolerance with the die's neck wall prevents the case neck from thickening during sizing. This precision engineering controls case growth at the mouth, eliminating the need for repeated trimming after an initial standardization trim of .020 inch off maximum length.
Initial Performance: Cases will grow slightly during the first few sizing cycles, then stabilize below maximum case length and remain there.
Long-term Results: Cases sized repeatedly in the X Die maintain consistent dimensions with no discernible loss of accuracy or case life.
What It Doesn't Do: The X Die doesn't shorten case length—it controls the growth that occurs naturally during the sizing process.
This complete small base die set contains:
Ideal for reloaders new to .223 Remington or those seeking to streamline their reloading process.
