RCBS .45 Colt dies

[Bucks Owin]

Excuse if this is old hat, but I was just wondering if the RCBS carbide sizer will size tight enough for .451-2" bullets. Found a recently manufactured used one to replace my .454" Lee carbide sizer that's been giving me fits.....TIA, Dennis (Who already knows of the ACP trick for Lee dies, thanks) :wink:

My RCBS 45 colt carbide sizer does...The date on the die is 1980. I don't have Lee 45 auto dies whats the trick?

I've been using the RCBS .45 Colt die set for about three years now and have zero problems. I've loaded .451 (Hornady XTP) .452 (Speer LSWC) and some .454 (Hornady "Cowboy") plus several others. I think you'll be fine with the RCBS die. Gerry

I have RCBS dies for the .45colt that were purchased new 16 years ago. They work great.

Some Lee .45colt dies don't size the case enough to properly grip .451-.452 bullets. Substituting a .45acp lee sizing die will give the case proper neck tension.

Thanks all, apparently RCBS sizer will do what I want....Dennis :wink:

I had that problem with .45 Colt Lee Dies. They sent me a .45ACP sizing die I've been using for yrs now.

Ever watch the "Flintstones" ? That's the secret handshake.... :lol:
The secret decoder ring.....Don't think they're put in Crackerjacks anymore.

The only problem i have had with the RCBS dies is with new Starline brass. I found i had to use the lube pad to roll about every 7-8 rounds or it got tough to use. Also have to hand prime the first batch also as the Starline brass is a little tighter, after the first loading they are all right though.
Other than that, the dies are great and no probs.

Don't think they ever put decoder rings in Crackerjacks. I'm pretty sure Ralphie got his from writing away to Ovaltine! :wink: Thanks again all....Dennis
