[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 678337, member: 9215"] "Shape wise, I kinda like the Hornaday sizer button best, but I hate the entire die. " Shape wise, I dislike any 'button' type expander, including Forstrer's better than usual system IF it's set up properly. Actually, I MUCH prefer the long cylinder expander of Lee's rifle dies because that kind of expander isn't free to wander around as it's withdrawn. That's why Dick Lee made it that way, and it works too. But I prefer not to use ANY 'drag it out' expander, that's part of why I prefer Lee's collet neck sizer even if I also have to use a body die to do a complete "FL" job. A lot of people put a lot of focus on expensive seating dies to reduce runout but seated runout pretty much dissappears when the case necks are straight. With good necks and good technique it's hard to beat Lee's simple and inexpensive seater for making straight ammo. IMHO, you are totally correct that sizers don't make a lot of difference by brand.
