Reply With QuoteI use them for my .223. The way they are made assures that the brass will never grow beyond where you set the die. It also controls neck thickening. However, I wouldn't say that the brass will last forever.
Has anybody used them or had any experience with them? I dont see how they could making the brass so u never have to trim again :-\

I use them in .223 & .308. I trim once after the 1st sizing, then just set the die per instructions and that's it. So far it's worked great. The expander ball/decapping pin mandrel has a step machined on it in which the case mouth bottoms out on and the die won't let the case grow on the next sizing.
I had them for my 7 mag. I could not tell they did anything different from a standard set. I cannot say I will ever spend the extra money again. Actually, I will spend the extra money, and buy a set of Redding Dies. Just my experience.

I use them in my .223 (M4 Bushmaster) and .30/06 (M1 Garand).
Size in a regular die, trim to specified length and then set up the X-die. Next time you reload, just use the X-die and you won't have to worry about having to trim again. I have several firings through .223 and .30/06 brass using the X-die and have never needed to trim.
The X-die has a mandrel that mates up with the case mouth to stop the brass from "growing". It works.
