[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 284110, member: 9215"] "...am wondering if Hornady dies are any good?" In a word, YES. I buy dies by features, not brand but Hornady has a few features that are unique and some buy them just because of that. Hornady has an excellant die locking ring, perhaps the best available. Their rifle seaters also have a sliding alignment sleeve that holds the bullets as they lift to the seating punch. I can find no reason to suggest the sleeves are helpful so far as straight seating goes but they are easy to use. Hornady also offers a simple to use accessory (extra cost) "micrometer" seating stem. Again, it doesn't do a thing for accuracy but it does, or at least can, make tracking bullet seating for a specific OAL a little bit easier. The eliptical expander button can be helpful too, somewhat better than "conventional" expanders anyway. Hornady's aren't my personal favorite dies but that's a personal thing having nothing to do with their general quality. [/QUOTE]
