[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 442051, member: 25383"] I don't want you to think I completely nuts (my ex wives will already confirm this!), but the only bushing dies I use are Wilsons but with one exception. I have an RCBS set, and Forster Ultra set, and a custom built inline die set from Mr. Pendel reamed off his benchrest reamer for .222 Remington. That last die set is actually made from aluminum (I have not looked much at the seater, but it may have a steel bushing in the neck). That neck die uses Wilson bushings, and must have 3,000 rounds thru it (it wasn't new when I got it in a trade). If you are serious about a bushing neck die, then go with the Wilson and a small arbor press (I use a K&M). With that setup, all you really need is a full length sizing die to bump the shoulder every ten firings or so (I actually rarely bump the shoulders on my .222 barrels). A T/C is very finicky about head space and has a weak extractor, so you have to stay ontop of it, but in a rifle it's a different story gary [/QUOTE]
