[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 2420871, member: 73596"] I am honored that I got as much feedback as I did on this topic. Thanks as always. All that said, my final answer/opinion on the subject is that the reason we buy expensive dies, and expensive bushings and such is to have control over all of the accuracy contributing factors. These Hornady Dies do a very poor job of that. Many have argued in this thread about just how much of the neck they choose to size, and what the effects of that have been. My big issue is that other than neck diameter, I don't have a choice of how much neck I size. I get .190", that's it! I would say also, that the 6.5 PRC has a relatively short neck. What if I was using this brand and style dies/bushings for like a 6.5x55 Swede or a 6.5-06, or something with longer neck. Less than 1/2 of the neck would be sized. I'm not one of those guys that bashes products, but these dies were a huge waste of money, I think that the $40 lee FL sizers would have done just as good. [/QUOTE]
