Got a barrel with a .264 lbc chamber my question is should I use dies for .264 lbc or just use standard grendel dies for reloading?

Your likely better off w/ the .264 LBC dies, because the LBC chamber specs call for a .295" neck diameter vs. .300" for the
Grendel IIRC...there are some other small spec differeces as well.
But, I would differ to the BHW prostaff for a definitive answer to
make sure.

You can load the 264 LBC with standard 6.5 Grendel dies. The expander ball in both sets of dies is the same. The same holds true for factory ammo. There is not enough difference between the two cartridges to make a difference as far as ammo is concerned.

Just use the 6.5 Grendel dies, like Ritch said they both the same .

Does anyone know if Lee is making dies for 264LBC? If so, any comments as to the quality of the full length resizing?

I love the Lee crimp dies when a crimp is called for, but I'm strictly an RCBS or Redding bushing die guy for FL resizing. If Dillon makes a die, you can't beat them either.
Nothing against Lee, but the other two have never failed me and the price different isn't really enough to worry about. Just my 2 cents worth.

Here you go: www.titanreloading.com/-65-grendel-3-die-setNot my choice but I'm sure the ammo would perform OK. I like better seaters and overall finish. Of course PD's don't care but I do!!  Grendel dies and LBC are the same for all practical purposes. Greg |

I've been told to avoid the Lee dies.
I havent loaded any 264 LBC/Grendel yet, but I have Hornady dies waiting.
