Questions & Answers

It looks like it is the same expander and recapping unit that comes in the RCBS die for sizing?

The answer is yes. I am armed with a Remington 223

I want you to solve this mystery My expanded measures * compared to the one I'm replacing. There may be 224 expanders on this machine, but the expander on this one is Is there anyone else who has this problem?

There would be no tension in your neck since 224 is too large. There is no information on the diameter of this expanding device, but it seems like it grips bullets well. As a side note, my load is the 223 Remington for the AR-15, so it is important to maintain neck tension in order

The brass I am reloading contains some military crimped primers, so some of the rounds cannot be loaded. Is it possible to remove the crimp ring after the primer has been ?

By using a drill bit, it is the easiest way to make sure that you drill out enough of the crimp ring by pushing the case head against a drill bit of the correct size in the drill press. That's all there is to it. By doing this, you'll create a nice bevel and the primer will slide over it without any trouble.

The backward compatibility feature is a good thing for the 1980s
4/5

It was manufactured in 1981 and the decapping and neck sizing assembly needs to be replaced. Choosing the right size die for your 223 FL. one to replace a damaged one I accidentally damaged while processing a batch of primer pockets with crimped edges. RCBS appeared to have made some engineering changes to this part since I last needed to replace it, as I was unaware that a overly robustly crimped primer had bent the stem, thereby causing the neck sizing ball and nut to fall off and become loose. 1981 was the year when I made my die. In the next step, the product's decapping and neck sizing assembly is configured as follows It consists of a threaded stem, neck sizing ball, decapping pin, and the nut that holds the ball and the pin. The new one is a one piece assembly with a neck sizing ball affixed permanently to the stem, and a pin that fits over the stem permanently. Everything seems to be going well so far. According to my testing, cases processed with my other dies and my previous neck sizing machine appear to be the same size as those processed by this new stem.

There are some things I love about RCBS provided this die set for me as a spare to go along with my AR Die Set
5/5

Due to an error on my part, the original piece broke. I simply asked for the replacement part number so that I could order the new piece myself. RCBS sent me a replacement under warranty right away. To do this, you will need headed.

In the description, it is not disclosed what you are getting, this is an old design at a new price, and it does not allow replacement of the pins, if a pin breaks like mine did on the last one, you have to replace the whole thing

Tool of high quality
5/5

A high quality tool has been produced once again by RCBS. In an effort to save money, I bought some used dies, I'm guessing in the vicinity of 15 years old, so I just wanted to replace the pin (I could have left it, but couldn't beat What it does is what it should.

You might not see it that way
4/5

Rods like this are usually described as being of first-class quality, so the description is inaccurate. The following is an example. A 223 internal neck sizer that serves as both a neck decapping pin and a neck sizer. Neither it is a decapping rod nor is it used for decapping.

RCBS is the company
5/5

During the process of rebuilding, I broke a rod that had been lying in a case. Replaced in a way that works as intended. Vendor is good!.

Another attempt to fix the problem
3/5

As I write this, I am on my third. The tip breaks away from the base when the pressure is under 1000. It has broken once before, so I am more cautious about ordering 2 at a time. Anyway, this isn't much of an issue. Up to the point where it breaks off, it does a good job. 2 days late in returning the item to Amazon.

It is not possible to replace a pin
3/5

Produced at a low cost. I had issues replacing the pin the first time I used it, so I threw it away. I received a refund from Amazon quickly. Reviews are available on the site. The only thing I wish I had done was that.
