[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 356428, member: 9215"] No dies can compensate for inconsistant case necks or poor work methods. I've used and measured both the ammo and accuracy from a lot of dies from all makers but Dillon. On average, I see NO difference between any brand and others, there's as much difference between dies of the same brand as between brands. Fact is, they are all quite good - on average! That said, Forster BR and Redding Comp. dies, the seaters anyway, do show a small improvement over others but that isn't so consistant as to be automatic. I prefer the Forsters because of their unique "adjustable" expander buttons which can leave slightly straighter necks IF they are adjusted correctly. And Lee's (collet) neck die is likely the best of its type on the market if it's used properly. Nothing's much good if it's poorly used! :D [/QUOTE]
