[QUOTE="556, post: 939702, member: 78030"] When I started reloading 23 years ago I was told the same thing. I did not need to spend money on expensive dies. I have since changed my mind. I have an AR I use for target shooting out to 600 yards. When I built the rifle I used the dies I had on hand, a set of RCBS. I was trying to get maximum accuracy from my AR and I was struggling to achieve consistent groups. I was talking with a more experienced shooter and he told me to get a set of precision dies. I was told to use what brand I felt comfortable with, just make sure they are target/competition dies. I bought a set of Redding competition dies and my groups actually shrank and became more consistent. Understand, the dies did not solve all my issues. They did make a difference though when it comes to long range shooting precision is needed. [/QUOTE]
