[QUOTE="nkyshooter, post: 1999038, member: 83787"] A set of Lee (I know - not necessarily equivalent to the highly respected names) dies for standard 30/06 with the [U]collet neck sizer[/U] and [U]dead length bullet seater[/U] will handle neck sizing and seating needs - and do it very well at that. I like the Lee Ultimate set for this since it will also then include the parent full length die and a factory crimp die. The crimp die can be used on both the AI and the parent but the FL is limited to the parent only. Then, in addition, A simple Full Length 30/06 Improved or a 30/06 Improved Body die will handle things for when you begin to start chambering a bit more tightly than you like ... I've used the above for my 260AI with exceptional accuracy results and the cost for this approach can be less than $100-$150 for dies in total ... it also will allow you to load the parent cartridge for future fireforming if/when you need to. That being said - custom dies built off a case fully formed to your chamber are a "sure thing" - Note: it can take a couple of firings before the case is "fully formed" to your chamber ... this is the reason why some will start with a "stout" load when fireforming.
