[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 2100072, member: 38048"] As far as Redding having more experience. How many chambers in actual rifles do you think Redding has done? Half the dies I get from them won't set the shoulder back on a perfectly cut chamber. Meaning minimum headspace. I routinely have to put their sizing dies in the lathe and cut .005 to .010 off the bottom to get set back. Every custom Smith I know has had to do this. Or grind the top of a shell holder down. I choose to shorten the did so any shell holder works. I use almost exclusively Redding s type dies for everything I own. I reccomrnd them to my customers too and fix half of them for my customers. I love my Redding dies but it seems no 2 are the same. I have 3 sets for 300wsm and every one of those sizers give me a different result. Shep [/QUOTE]
