I'm an experienced handgun reloader but am just getting into 223 for the first time. I have a set of Lee 223 dies; its the 3 die set that includes the factory crimp die, and thought I was all set. Then I see that RCBS makes small base dies, AR dies, etc... all for the 223.
So my question is... Are my Lee dies going to work for loading 223 in my AR or do I actually need a set of RCBS' specialty stuff? Some stuff I read says the small base dies are only for match grade chambers, and other stuff says ALL ARs need small base dies... which is it?
Thanks for the help!
