[QUOTE="britz, post: 192156, member: 7865"] I just bought my first comp die - a redding. The two I looked at were redding and Forster. RCBS is less expensive, but it has been my experience the Redding has superior quality control. The basic principle behind the comp die is a sleeve that contacts the cartridge and slides into the die forcing the cartidge to be centered into the die. I'm not sure how much that helps to be honest. I have one in a 22-250 and it did reduce runout over my old RCBS seater that had a burr on the seater plug. The micrometer adjustment is really nice for setting up the die. I just screw the die into the press, back off the mic a few thou and seat a bullet. measure the bullet and if it is .003" long, I screw in the mic .003 and the bullets are perfect. For me, the mic is a the most helpful feture of the die, but I'm not compatition shooter. I am not sure if I will purchas one again because it was $87 plus s and h. [/QUOTE]
