I'm in the process of building an AR with a 223 Wylde chamber. Should I use Small base dies or would regular full length sizing be enough for reliable functioning.
Wylde chamber is made for service rifle competition. I doubt that it will require a small base die.
But the fact is you will not know until you fire a few cases through it. I try to avoid small base dies whenever possible. I have had many Krieger and other service rifle barrels for High Power competition and never needed a small base die.
The only thing I use a small base die on is my 40X Rangemaster. Even though the chamber is 0.008" long it is extremly small in diameter and requires a small base die for easy cycleing.
Thanks for the quick responses. I was hoping I could get away without the SB dies so I can use one set for both the AR and my wife's handi-rifle. I guess i'll get a set of standard dies and if I have trouble I'll get the SB then.
