RCBS, Hornady, Redding, or Forster Dies

Is that what they're teaching kids these days?

Yes - how to communicate effectively. They also teach grammar at the schools my kids went to.

My first set of dies was a set of lee dies and since then have couple sets of rcbs dies and now one set of redding dies from what I've seen so far I really like the one set of redding dies I have if they make all there dies like the set I have then I won't be buying any other new set of die unless there reddings

Just my opinion.
You see alot of Lee dies innovation in other brands, which is a good thing. Also, Redding dies are top notch for consistency in quality

Yeah that seems to be the consensus on here. I am for sure going to go with Redding, just now which of their 5 models haha. Is it worth to get the S-Type Match for $190 or the simpler full length die set for $70 - they also have the master hunter set for like $170

Johnny's reloading bench turned me on to the Forster dies a few years ago and I have been really impressed with them.
(full length and micrometer seating dies)

They are extremely consistent and I have seen less runout with them vs some of the cheaper options...

There is a seller on eBay in Oklahoma that normally has Forster items in stock when I couldn't find them elsewhere.

Mainly Redding Type S. Some calibers I have their comp seating dies, for other calibers I Forster seating dies. I have a set of RCBS and Lee dies for my .257AI.

I use RCBS carbide dies for my handguns.

I have a 22 creedmoor being built I guess I'm going to have to use vice grips for a neck sizer and a hammer for a bullet seater unless things turn loose. David

Isn't that the truth

 

[Orange Dust]

I have just about every brand there is. I use Forster on all of my rifles that have scopes with exposed turrets. Everything else gets whatever...

Forster hits the sweet spot between performance and value for me.

If you are just looking to load for hunting and general varmints, your standard set should work great. The difference being between buying a chevy or caddy. Same quality , different options.
Just my opinion

That is what I am really looking for, the balance of performance and value. Why spend a ton of extra money if there is really no benefit lol

Remmeber. of three options when buying ANYTHING: Fast, Good or Cheap, you ONLY get to choose TWO. YOU are the one controlling the performance of your ammuntion, so choose wisely!
