OP wsmnut Campfire Member W Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 184 Rainy Washington State	I will be reloading this summer for a 325 wsm. I have had good luck with my son's rifle (270 wsm) and the RCBS X dies. I am leaning towards going that direction again. Any thoughts? Oh, it is a M70. Use: hunting elk and moose. Wsmnut Belief is often the death of reason.

I'd try them first before you spent extra money for anything else........................DJ Remember this is all supposed to be for fun.......................

You might have a little trouble getting the right shellholder, or at least I did. Though that was a couple years ago before the WSM's had taken off as much as they have now... ...seeing as (ahem) they are about the coolest calibers around and all. -jeff The CENTER will hold.

Call me anal about seating depth but I think their competition seating dies are the best on the market. More expensive tho. Bear in Fairbanks "Unless you're the lead dog, the scenery never changes."
