[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 180737, member: 4885"] I personally like the redding competition dies. I use the type-S bushing dies, because I like to be able to tweak everything. I like to be able to size 2/3's of the neck and still push the shoulder back. With the Bushing dies you can do that in a single operation. That said, you don't really need the bushing dies, and very accurate reloads can be made with any quality die. But. The Forster dies are probably just as good. I actually have a Forster ultra seating die, and its a great die- very accurate. The Redding competition seaters are very accurate as well. So, pick one and it will work fine. You don't normally need a crimp die, unless you are reloading round nose bullets in a tubular magazine. One tip though, get you a can of Imperial sizing wax (might as well order a couple). As its hands down the best way to lubricate bottleneck cartridges I've found. A can will last a LOOOOONG time. AJ [/QUOTE]
