Anyone have any experience with this die? Setting up to load for a new custom 223 rem rifle and the prospect of combining decapping, sizing, and mandreling in one step is very appealing. Right now I do those three in three different operations, with a Lee universal decapper, Redding sizing die, and carbide PMA mandrel. The S-series is pricey, but if I have to buy a good sizing die and another PMA mandrel, I'm up around $180 anyways, so I figure the S-series die isn't that much of a step up. Can't find many reviews of it though.

I like their M series dies. Haven't used their S series dies but just make sure you pay attention if ordering .223 S dies off their web site right now, the ones available look like they are on sale, but look down below and it says they may only fit the ZERO press , unsure if they will fit others and they and they are making adjustments to the next run. I would call them and tell them what press you are running and ask if they will work. It sounds like the need to run the threads up the die body a little further.
