[QUOTE="Clark, post: 543815, member: 6600"] I was so stupid. For years I used Redding FL "S" dies. I had many brands of dies for .223 and shot thousands of ground squirrels and prairie dogs. Then when I did a controlled test. A large randomly picked population of brass, each large population dedicated to a single resizing die, each seated with a Forster ultra seater, and shot the brass over and over in the same rifle. After dozens of firings of each piece of brass, and some brass needing to be trimmed over and over... Brass lasts a lot longer with Lee Collet dies. Brass needs a lot less trimming with Lee Collet dies. Cartridges are much more concentric as measured on the Sinclair concentricity gauge with Lee Collet dies. Redding is the worst on all counts. All the in between dies are in between. Lee Collet is always the best. And I left that Lee Collet die on the shelf for years, because it looked cheap. I was so stupid. [/QUOTE]
