[QUOTE="OKCHunter, post: 1278484, member: 8534"] I picked-out 10 of the loaded rounds to run a small test for the X-Die. The rounds were developed from new RP brass trimmed to 1.740" for .223 Rem, small-base sized. Trimming was done on an RCBS Trim Pro with 3-way cutter. There was some deviation in the case lengths, both plus and minus, but in general close to the 1.740" target length. After firing the 10 rounds, I cleaned and resized the brass using the X-Die. The average length for the 10 cases was 1.740" (1.7398) with the maximum length at 1.744". I suspect that any die would have produced similar results after only one firing / resizing of the cases. Therefore, I'll continue monitoring the length of these 10 cases after each resizing to see if the X-Die will keep the length below the max case length of 1.760". I'm guessing that it will take 5 to 10 resizing cycles to determine the effectiveness of the X-Die. [/QUOTE]
