I had one friend who thought he needed a small base die to get his stuff to chamber, but it turned out that he didn't have the sizing die set correctly and some of the shoulders on the range and surplus brass he had were out too far for his chamber. Once he adjusted the die to put the shoulder where it was supposed to be his problems went away. You may run into a really tight chamber and need a small base die, but I have never experienced the need in about 20 different guns I have owned in 223 and 5.56. I'm with aviator41, try what you have and you will probably be pleasantly surprised. Blitzfike</p></blockquote><p></p>
