    The Lyman M-Die seems like a 'good thing'. Do any of y'all have an opinion about this die?

    Hey Tommy,

    I just bought one a couple weeks ago for a cast load experiment for my 03's, and so far i like it. I'm using a standard RCBS die to resize/deprime, then hit it with a properly adjusted M die. I made sure all my brass was trimmed to the same length before running it thru the "M". It make seating easier, and no shavings from the lead are present (which caused me to look at the M die in the 1st place).

    OK, thanks. I trim every firing with a Giraud trimmer, so case length is 'on'.
    I'm thinking t buy 3 M-dies now, .45, .38 and for 30-06 too.
    Thanks for the reply.
    Tommy
