[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 28585, member: 12"] Express Think you will find a lot of preferences and a few commonalities. forester Bonanza and Redding sell micrometer seaters that cannot be beat. forester is only $48 The Bonanza BR die set is only about $75 and for $35 can be converted to a bushing die by JLC precision or Harrels. Redding already comes with bushing. The forester after converted can be set up for shoulder bump also without another die. Many guys have their gunsmith make a custom die set when ordering gun. Normally they use a resize reamer that gives the case about .002-.003 sizing on body. Chamber reamer cannot do that. Often the wilson inline die is used for seating and add the micrometer top. Another choice is custom dies made by Neil Jones from your fired brass. Micrometer neck size and seating either 7/8 x 14 or inline cost is about $275 for a set. His die uses a unique bushing that incorporates a shoulder bump built in. However for the 6PPC go to BR central and order the die set from Harrels or JLC. They both stock the best custom made die sets for the PPC and your neck. They are normally noted as the absolute best for PPC. On 308 go with the Forester and do the neck die conversion. My personal preference but take it for what it is worth. 6PPC is not a LR cartridge and normal twist for them is 1-14 with 55-68 gr bullets and max 300-500 yards accuracy. After that too light a flat base bullet thrown around by wind and low BC. Also most ppc guys use inline dies only to be able to load at matches. Need good arbor press (Hart, Sinclair or K & M) You need 1-8 twist and 6br to go 1000. BH [/QUOTE]
