[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 69737, member: 2852"] [ QUOTE ] I've seen tons of people have problems after they've bought the fancy bushing dies. [/ QUOTE ] I would be willing to bet not near as many problems as people with standard dies. [ QUOTE ] If you don't have a problem you simply don't have a problem [/ QUOTE ] He didn't say he had a problem, he asked if he should upgrade. [ QUOTE ] Competition this and competition that. If you have good brass with good neck tension it doesn't matter what dies made it. [/ QUOTE ] I couldn't disagree <font color="blue"> MORE!! </font> Good brass is definetly important, but can still be oversized (work hardened over time) and have TOO MUCH grip with standard dies and that can be adjusted with the comp dies. [ QUOTE ] I can almost guarantee you that if you give me a set of hornady dies and let me work with your brass and fine tune those dies I can make 90% of your loaded rounds come out to .003" and under for runout and your neck tension will be very consistant. [/ QUOTE ] Only 90%?!?! And only .003"?!? My comp dies= 99% and less than .0015! [ QUOTE ] and in my book those factors will be how the bullet, powder, seating depth, match the harmonics of your barrel. Thats where 95% of your accuracy comes from!! [/ QUOTE ] Agreed, but all those deal with your brass and if your brass isn't perfect, your accuracy CAN"T BE either! Bushing dies are nothing new. Benchresters have been using them for decades because they produce the best results period. [/QUOTE]
