Im looking to buy above dies and I know that RCBS offers a seated for both 308/311 bullets. As I have a V52 I use 311 diameter bullets.

I like the Hornady dies because of the sliding sleeve in the seater die. Can you seat both sizes of bullets with the Hornady die set? Ie 308 or 311.

Does anyone have a set for sale? I live In Canada so I'm not sure if they can be shipped over the border. Any other Canadians on here?

Another choice is the Lee #90565 Pacesetter 3 die set for 7.62X39. The sizing die includes expander/de-prime pins for both .308 and .311" bullets. The set also includes a bullet seating die that can be set to roll crimp if you wish and a Lee Factory Crimp Die if you wish to collet crimp like factory ammo. The set is $28.99 from Midway:

The Lee seating die has a floating, self centering plug that seats bullets on the ogive. Hornady partially copied this feature from Lee but couldn't copy it completely due to Lee's USA Patent. I personally believe the Lee seating die to be a better die than the Hornady.
