Hey everyone.
We were recently a victim of theft, where all of our reloading equipment was stolen from my brother's shop. We're in the process of replacing everything and a friend had a set of .280 Rem dies and no rifle chambered for the caliber. He gave them to me for free to help us out, but I noticed they were SB dies. I know they size the case a couple thousanths smaller. My .280 is in a NEF Handi Rifle, so I don't figure I'll need the SB dies. Should I just use them anyway, or should I go ahead and buy a FL die? I think I can just buy the sizing die, and just use the seating die that came with the one he gave me, but I don't know if there's enough difference to matter.
Thanks for the help.
