[QUOTE="rpierce, post: 2191516, member: 20643"] The sizing dies are made by Bullet Central. I had them make a huge run of dies that size the dies perfectly/optimally. No bolt clicks after a bunch of firings. The only time you will encounter a bolt click is if its a hot load. Generally after a pretty decent ejector mark is present. I finally got a slight click with 93 gr of N570 with a 245 berger at 3125 fps in a 26" barrel. Im able to get several grains more powder in the case before a bolt click using this die vs using the old ones. Another thing myself and a few customers have noticed so far with these dies compared to the old ones is that the accuracy and powder nodes are wider. One customer did a 6 gr ladder test at 500 yds. 300 FPS spread between em. They all landed .5 moa vertically of each other. The results Ive seen so far have been similar. Seating die options are Hornady and Bullet Central. The hydro forming die I have is from Whidden. [/QUOTE]
