[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 778145, member: 25383"] I'm pretty sure that Forster does not do the 8x68s die, but they might do the 9.3x74R. The .223 and the .308 are standard catalog die sets. They also do a .308 national match die set. The .223 remington dies are excellent, and I own two sets (I think), but probably own a half dozen sets of .223 dies from one brand name or another. Redding dies are pretty good as well, and they have a much larger catalog. I still think the Forster seater is better. I honestly don't see much difference in the full length dies other than one brand being over priced. You might also want to look at the Lee Collet dies. I'd don't like their seaters at all, but with a standard chamber and neck they are supposed to be pretty good. I tried them in .223 and 22-250, and they just wouldn't work for me. But te two chambers I was reloading for were intentionally cut to minimum specs with a tight neck. I think they'd work OK with a standard no turn neck. These used with the Forster seater should put you way ahead in the game Have you tried contacting Forster direct (email). They will probably ship overseas as I know a couple guys in Holland that use Forster presses and dies gary [/QUOTE]
