[QUOTE="Mike D Texas, post: 2440964, member: 71221"] The most accurate dies are going to be chamber style inline dies like Wilson and Whidden has recently introduced a line of them. These are use with an arbor press not a convention press like regular dies. That said, I personally am not good enough of a shooter to recognize the difference between those style dies and regular ones of good quality. I've owned several sets of dies like your friend recommended but am currently selling them and getting into Forster benchrest and Whidden dies (mostly due to custom chamberings). Bushing dies "can" introduce run out, to what extent that matters seems to be debatable. The reason I'm selling the Redding dies is I prefer the micrometer adjustments better on the Forster and the Widden dies look almost identical. I do believe there is a difference between "standard" dies and "benchrest" or "competition" dies. Again how much better is debatable. [/QUOTE]
