at hornandy, I just called and ordered one. I dont know wny my midway one hasn't shipped but they have them and they are great to deal with.

Now I need to find a place with the RCBS small base dies in stock... any ideas?

I just use my 40 S&W shell holders, they are a perfect fit for the 6.8 but also have the shell holder that came with my LEE 6.8 die set.

Midway has the small base dies in stock. I just checked their site as that is where I got mine from a couple of weeks ago. And you can order the Lee crimp die that is instock their as well.

yeah I had that stuff on backorder, I call them asking why is it in stock but still backordered for me? they said oh we are holding it for the rest of your items but they shipped it right out so I should be reloading ver7y soon

Why are you guys using SB dies on your 6.8 reloads?

I've never seen a chamber that qualified for the need of them, plus why would you want to size the brass smaller than it was when new. I could see maybe if even new factory loads were giving you extraction problems but haven't heard of any cases were this was a problem either.

Just wondering?

Harrison suggests them for his chambers.

Does he have problems with factory ammo not extracting from his chambers? if not it just seems like a lot of extra work on the brass and will shorten brass life quickly. JMO

 

[marinesg1012]

Factory ammo will shoot just fine in his guns, I know he has had issues in the past with some dies not resizing down to where they needed to so he reccomends the small base dies, he may be able to expand further.

Just curious, that's all
