[QUOTE="jpfrog, post: 1444224, member: 32525"] Everyone will say buy the best you can afford, and everyone will interpret that to mean a different product. I started loading with plain old RCBS dies that you can pick up the set for about $40. In .300winmag and in .308win. I was getting under 1/2moa with those dies, but it took a bit of playing and I was only using 1 bullet for each rifle. Then I caught the bug, started trying different bullets AND adjusting seating depth...all learning more about variables as I went. I have started replacing my dies with Redding S Match Bushing sets with micro seaters, and I really like them. I don’t need them to make good ammo, but the features are nice and help save some time when playing with seating depth and different bullets, and give me flexibility on neck tension with the bushings. I have those dies in about 6 different calibers now, one of which is 6.5-284. I really like them, but I’m sure there’s something better out there that I haven’t figured out I “need” yet. So how much will you reload and how much do you like to tinker? Anyone can make great handloafs with basic dies IN MY OPINION, but the more expensive, feature rich dies offer flexibility and ease of use when fine tuning that many people who reload as a hobby tend to appreciate as they learn more about how to fine tune their loads and gear.
