7.62x39 die question

[troy fairweather]

I am looking to pick up some 7.62x39 dies, i was wondering if they still came with both 308 and 310 sizers. i am thinking of rcbs or lee 4 die set, i thin i will be mostly neck sizing because the cip chamber in my cz527. any info will be helpful. thanks. troy.

I don't have mine anymore picked them up in the 90s and only had 1 sizer. Was loading for an sks had to improvise with 303 Brit to get proper neck size. I don't load that cartridge anymore. I sold rifle and die set to pay a bill. Sorry I can't answer any better than that.

The lee set I have came with both sizing/decapping mandrels sometimes they don't, but the parts are available from lee. The rcbs set I have is used and I haven't checked to see if it had both when new.

The Lee set that I bought, about 5 years ago, came with both.

ok thanks guy's the lee would be best for me and cheaper.

Lee dies just work. They are really affordable, and while virtually every other manufacturers product is nicer, most don't perform any better.

yes i like lee, i have about 50/50 lee to rcbs. most cartridges that need FL sizing i get rcbs and ones that tent to neck size are lee sets.

Running Lee dies here as well for my 7.62x39 AR. SKS and AK get the commie stuff.

RCBS comes with both.
When I started reloading 7.62 I had trouble fitting bullet into the case mouth---I used a 30 Carbine expander die--worked good.
Now I have a RCBS Trim Mate---while I am working the brass I use the inside chamfer tool to cut a little off the case---NO MORE CRUSHED CASES.
