Is it ok to mix manufactues of shell holders and dies? I have Hornady .458 socom dies and an RCBS shell holder. Is it ok to use components from different manufactures? Any special instructions for doing so? Thx, Brian |

While I’ve done it in the past and not had any problems, I heard other reloaders suggest its best not to mix brands. But if you’re using either a gauge or the rifle chamber itself to set the headspace, I can’t see it making any difference. Granted, I don't know if anyone makes a .458 Socom gauge. |
