[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2357479, member: 116181"] With that in mind, my advice for your goals would be to focus on consistency first, because that's the name of the game at 1000+ yards. Consistent > perfect in my book, meaning high quality measuring tools are most important up front. I like the Whidden die and it comes with a comparator, but Short Action Custom makes a $175 set that you can set up to get a shoulder comparator and two bullet comparators at the same time - that will let you check shoulder bump and sort bullets by bearing length. Mitu or another high end caliper to pair with those, and you'll be set. Dies since you're already looking at the Whidden - either that if you want to try the click feature, a Redding completion set, or a Forster bump and competition seater. Which mandrels are you looking at? 21st Century and K+M both make great sets, I'd get the whole range for 6.5mm and use those and bushings rather than worrying about turning and/or reaming the necks. Your press and brass are great, what are you using for a scale? [/QUOTE]
