Anyone have a RCBS 223 Gold Medal Seater, trade for Redding Comp Seater?

[jonaddis84]

I have a brand new Redding competition seating die Id like to trade for a RCBS Gold Medal seater (has to be Gold Medal, not Competition). Wanting to use on progressive because seating non-boattail bullets sucks on my press with standard seaters.

Thanks

Nevermind on the trade, but if anybody has a gold medal they want to sell let me know, new used doesnt matter.

I have one used, not alot, I did cut 1/4" to 5/16" off the bottom to make it work in a reg press. I can use it in my RCBS Pro 2000, but the adjustments are maxed out to the bottom end. Unlike Redding comp dies, these things are one size fits all. It's literally the same size as my GM 7mm saum die.
If your press travels more than mine, I can't see how you'll get it to work. Less it should be fine.

Thats exactly what Im trying to use it on is a Pro 2000. I couldnt find any direct info on guys using it on one. I was hoping the Gold medal would work well with it, but apparently Im mistaken?

No, it'll work, your window is just almost closed off. It's still better than seating them from below. I could get a pic or two tomorrow if you pm your email address. It's doable.
I'm assuming you know how the seater stem works, with the E clip.

Yeah I had one in 338lm and liked it for that in single stage since those bullets wouldnt fit without angling them in. PM coming.
