280ai Die Set ???

[kendallhadden]

I'm looking for the best 280ai die set for my Forster press. All I'm finding is RCBS, Hornady and Redding. I typically use Whidden and Forster dies, and I've read that Forster makes them but I can't seem to find any. Unless I get a different choice, I will purchase Redding. Any input?

Redding Type S are good stuff.

I use Redding Master Hunter Comp dies myself for my .280AI. FL (non-bushing) and comp seater w. VLD stem.

If I was picking between Redding and Whiddens, I would go with the Whiddens.

I like forster and my whiddens too but went with the master hunter non bushing set for the 280ack. You'll have to buy a VLd seater stem and if that isn't enough you'll need a forster die box if you ever want to close the box again.
That said i like the seater a lot, it's possibly the most consistent seater I own. If they ever start selling them with the VLd stem and in a properly sized box I might make it a point to buy more of them
