[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1319608, member: 28965"] All my high end seating dies are Forster. And as I stated before the Forster and Redding benchrest seating dies are the exact same type design. "AND" the Forster dies are cheaper than the Redding. I tested seven different type manufactures dies in .223 and the Forster full length benchrest die produced the least neck runout. And neck sizing bushing dies produced the most neck runout. Also at the Whidden custom die website they tell you that non-bushing full length dies produce the most concentric cases. And its the high mounted floating expander in the Forster dies that makes these dies superior to other dies. NOTE, when you reduce the neck diameter .004 or more with a bushing die it will induce neck runout. This is because the bushing floats and can move side to side and even tilt when reducing the neck diameter. This is why you are told to reduce the neck diameter in two steps if reducing the diameter .004 or more. Bushing dies work best with tight neck chambers with neck turned brass. And in a SAAMI chamber the average case neck will need to be reduced .006 or more in diameter. [/QUOTE]
