Hi all,
I am hoping to start reloading for rifle soon, .223 and .308. I have bought extra turrets and the die sets for each. I love the idea of just having my turrets sitting there, ready to go for any cartridge I wish to reload.
Anyway, as it turns out, the rifle charging dies do not come with the sets, so I have to order them separately. I figure while I am at it, I can buy the risers if necessary, since I normally reload using the safety prime feeder. That way I don't have to steal the one that is on my handgun turrets. Yes, I know, lazy, but for $6 to save my time down the road, why not.
I know the riser is needed for handgun dies, in order for the hopper to not crash into the safety primer, but the rifle charging die seems so tall on its own, is the riser still required?
Thanks.
