In my research to find out if I need small base dies for my 223 (several ARs), I kept running into people insisting you needed them, or very opposed to them. Those who said you didn't need them said sometimes mentioned that those who have problems with a standard die, don't have their dies set up correctly, and weren't letting their press cam over.
This leads me to another layer of research... Some say you shouldn't let your press cam over, some disagree.
To me, it shouldn't matter that much. I would THINK that as long as your die kisses your shell holder, it should be good. What is the "official" INGO opinion? I'm new at this...
