I'm going to buy a small base die set for reloading for AR15's
I see the X dies are about $15.00 more then RCBS standard S/B dies set.
Are they worth the extra money or should I just stick to the standard dies?
Iwill only Be reloading for plinking and some varmint, and will probly be loading around 2000/3000 rds per year.

    They work well if you follow the directions. You have to trim all your brass to their spec first off. Then after that it will help control the length growth. I started with one but decided to go back to my Dillon as I did not want to trim all of my 1 fire brass when it was within standard specs. I just size my brass and then put them in my Dillon case guage and trim them if it is needed.

    So for $15.00 more I can do more work? I'll just buy the Standard dies then. Thanks BHAVIN.
