You only need small base dies if. . . well, if you need small base dies. If extraction becomes a problem, small base dies are a quick fix, but I' wouldn't go looking for trouble until it found me.

N'est pas?


Oh, extraction is never a problem with used brass.

Usually not, if the used brass was not junk in the first place. The methods and practices of the guy doing the reloading enter into the "used brass" equation as well.

Some fellows will tell you that you HAVE to have small-based dies for reloading for a semi. That just isn't true. I've gotten by for 20 years not encountering the problem.
