    Lee Pacesetter 3-Die Set 300 AAC Blackout

    Midway has the dies on sale for $30. Ever since I started using the Lee Factory Crimp die I've used it for every caliber. This would be the first time I've used their die set for a bottle neck cartridge so I just want to hear from end users if these will be solid dies or not. I'm not loozing at competition or making specialty ammo that only works with my gun. I just want to make solid functional ammo. Any reason why these would be bad dies for my uses?

    Would be running them in a Dillon 550B.

    They work just fine. Someone will most likely get on here and suggest another brand, but for just to go out and shoot them up and not care Lee's are fine. All but one set of my dies are lee's.

    I have same set. They work great. I cut my own 223 down and the Lee set has performed well. Made a couple hundred last night.

    Nice! I've got a bunch of old surplus .30 cal bullets that I was going to load up in the 300BO just so I'd have something on hand if and when the day comes that I finish the build off.
