[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1345233, member: 70559"] I've had lots of custom dies made, but they were for wildcats. Therefore I can't tell you if they are better than other dies. I did order Forester full length die for both a .270 Win and a 6.5 Creedmoor. I had the necks honed to .003" under neck size when holding a bullet. They have virtually zero runout without the bullet. I was using a factory Hornady seater for the .270 and getting lots of runout. I mean like .010"-.012". I switched to a Lee seater and reduced the runout to generally .001"-.003". I switched from a regular Hornady factory die to a Hornady micrometer die and achieved the same improved runout. [/QUOTE]
