RCBS die ??
I bought a really nice used set of 6mm Rem die set from an estate sale. The box was marked "small base" but the die set only indicates 6mm rem FL RCBS 80...so Im under the ipmression that these are standard. Any input?. RCBS is closed untill the 11th...so im out of luck there. Thanks for any input.

RCBS small base dies
They are used with automatics,semi-automatic,pump,slide and pump rifles! RCBS doesn't recommend those in bolt action rifles, but have seen people use then anyway. It is your call. Good Luck

All the actual small base dies I've observed are marked FL XXX SB, so either your box is mismarked, or the previous owner got his size dies mixed up.
He probably bought the standard ones, then decided he needed/wanted the small base and bought those. Somewhere down the line, he put the regular sizer in the SB box. Unless you truly NEED small base dies, the regular FL is what you wanted anyway. What type rifle are you loading for?

I'd agree that the die marked FL 80 is a standard full length sizing die. Every RCBS small base die I've seen indicates it's a small base die on it, as Rocky has described.
BTW, the '80' is year of manufacture:1980.
