Regular dies usually work ok. Key word is usually. As Skinny said some brass doesn't size back to original size. I load 223 on a Dillon Super 1050 with Dillon Carbide dies and they are a little tighter than normal dies. If you find you need a set of Small Base ...Let me know.. I do have a set of RCBS I no longer use. I do use Small Base dies for the Remington 742 in 30-06 and for the 308 for the Armalite AR-10.. The AR 10 is one of those gotta work guns so I use the small base dies for it. You will get a load or 2 less per case..but well worth the tradeoff in my opinion. I sold my Dillon 308 Carbide dies a bit too soon. 308 is a round I have never had much use for..but the AR-10 was priced right and when Nobama wins the election..I think new semi autos will be banned. I am hoping he loses of course. He is useless but I really do not have any use for his America hating wife
