Some time ago I seem to remember a discussion concerning which of the M dies to use for the 25-35 Win, but after searching I can't seem to locate the thread. I purchased two M dies, one for my 25-35 Win and the other to use on my 218 Bee, but I can't remember which one goes with which cartridge. I guess having too much equipment is a good thing but right now I am at a loss. Any help out there on a fine Christmas day?

Look at the business end of the die and you might find what you are looking for. Mine are marked on the end of the expander with the caliber size.

Robert,

It took me a while but I figured it out. The one for the 25-35 is the one marked for the 25-20. I have no idea why I confused the one for the 218 as being used for the 25-35 since it is 22 caliber and would not do much expanding on a 25 caliber cartridge.:mrgreen: I guess I will go and get an adult beverage now so at least I will have an excuse for being so confused!
