[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2261520, member: 1951"] Bushing dies are not better and generally increase your runout. Albeit, this runout increase seems Like it is in the neighborhood of 0.0002” - 0.0006” IME. Yes, my zeros, decimals are in the right place. I know this from head to head testing of 300 WSM Redding vs Forster dies. They do allow you to adjust neck tension better and minimize sizing/resizing of the neck. That is a real value to me, so I use bushing dies on most calibers. Hornady makes them for a good price. My measured results with Hornady dies on my MEC press tells me they are capable of sizing to same accuracy level as Forster/Redding/Whidden, etc. I would start with Forster benchrest dies for your caliber, if you can or the Hornady bushing dies….unless you find the Reddings for a deal.
