280 Ackley Improved Dies

[Mark37082]

I'm starting to get prepared for a long term build based on order and production lag times and gunsmithing. I'm going with a 280 ai (SAAMI). Need to get dies and considering Redding. I really like my Forster BR dies for my 7RM, but I dont believe Forster makes 280ai. Now the question is Redding Premium deluxe, Redding Type S Bushing, or Redding Master Hunter Deluxe. Ive never used bushing FL dies. I understand the concept, but just don't know if the advantages of using bushing dies will be realized in my shooting and hunting loads. Will be using Peterson brass as soon as I can find it. Your thoughts?

I have the FL Type S bushing die and really like the whole set up. There may be better but I'm perfectly happy with what I have.

The only thing I don't like about the bushing dies is the price. Oh well! I guess you get what you pay for…. I think.

Look at Hornady match grade bushing dies. They are what i use for my 280AI. The advantage bushing dies is being able to change your neck tension with different bushings
