Adam Helmer, I was loading some old GI brass for the M1 and found that it chambered fine most of the time, but that the clips were somewhat difficult to seat The sides of the clips were "flared" and binding on the sides. Then I got a small base die and tried it. Absolutely no chambering problems and not problems seating the clips in the rifle. Placing the clips side by side you can definitly see the "flare" on the sides of those filled with non small base sized brass.
Some rifles have chambers that are not round at the rear. Savage 99 are nortorious as are some of the pumps and other lever actions. They really feed better when the small base die is used.
