moutain mike 0 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I can not get the cartridge to extract in a saiga 308 with out much force (hand cycling) when full sizing with a RCBS X-Die. It works fine with my standard lee die. When I called RCBS for help they told me to try with just the brass and no bullet. It still does not work. I have already tried a friends X-Die with the same results. I have also tried raising up the mandrel to different heights. All of the brass is trimmed to 1.995 as per the x-die instructions(including the ones that work with the Lee die). Thanks in advance for any replies! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moutain mike 0 Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I tried these dummy rounds in my friends M1A and they seemed to work fine. So it seems it has something to do with Saiga or My Saiga. I tried these dummy rounds in my friends M1A and they seemed to work fine. So it seems it has something to do with Saiga or My Saiga.

moutain mike 0 Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I called customer service and he told me to send in the die and 5 fired cases. He then believes they will send me back the small base X-Die wich is made for semi auto's. I wish I knew their were two kinds of X-Dies before I bought. I will update incase my answers may help someone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
