[QUOTE="Ranger260, post: 1444176, member: 24186"] I recently purchased a Savage Weather Warrior in 6.5x284 NORMA. I just bought 100 rounds of once-fired Lapua brass. Now I am trying to find some dies to create hunting ammunition for this rifle (mostly for mule deer). As I am a novice handloader, what suggestions do yo have for what dies I should invest in? I am looking to use the Hornady 143 ELD-X to begin (may use Bergers if I don't get good performance). Do I need to be looking at dies with micrometer stems, VLD stems, match type, bushings, etc. or would a standard set of dies be sufficient given my experience (or lack thereof)? Can I use a die set under $100 and make accurate ammo (some sets go $100-150), or will I be handicapping myself by not investing in premium dies? I realize that my rifle is a mass-produced factory sporter and not a custom match-grade rifle. Thanks for any thoughts you can provide.
