Hornady new dimension reloading dies?

Post by robban.jagaren »

Anyone who has experience with Hornady new dimension reloading dies in a RCBS rock chucker press?

Calibrating tool is no problem, but the bulletseater was only one turn of the thread one it touched the case. I was suprized it was so short of thread when looking for bulletseating the 7mm Rem mag.

No experience, sorry. Sounds like you will need a larger press to give you a bit more travel. My basic Redding press is near its limits with the 9.3x74R. Even the 8x68 is pushing the limit.

I also ran into this issue and moved to Redding Competition Dies. I did produce accurate ammo with the Hornady dies, just didn't like the way it looked.

I'm a RCBS and Redding guy,. Don't mind Hornady ammo and projectiles, never been a fan of there reloading gear as its more designed to be used with their other products. I see this type of thing on a mates Lee press where he had Hornady dies. He just had to buy a different adapters and it was fine.

Yes i read that also, but it felt totally wrong! I wanted your opinion also.

Thank you all for your support! I will change to RCBS next time i go to my reloding equipment store!
