[QUOTE="omgb01, post: 2328001, member: 116522"] You ask a question with a lot of variables. Let’s start with hunting. If this is for hunting then full length resizing may be best. Functionality is key if you have hundreds invested in a hunt. You don’t need any chambering difficulties getting in the way. Assuming you are a proficient marksman, a good FL die set from RCBS will produce MOA capable ammo all day. What if you are going to shoot competitively? Well, I can say for sure that many US military marksmen and snipers insist on Forrester presses and dies. In Bench Rest, many competitors use Redding dies or the have RCBS custom shop make custom dies based on a chamber cast. Hornady, CH, and Redding will too. I have dies from Bonanza, Pacific, Hornady, Lyman, RCBS, Redding and CH. All are excellent. I also have dies by Lee. They are not match grade but will produce moa ammo if I do my part. So, buy what you can afford. Shooting is also a mental confidence game. If you don’t trust your equipment you will never shoot your best [/QUOTE]
