[QUOTE="JakeC, post: 2203259, member: 115819"] Why do you want to avoid bushing dies? Just curious. I decided to give the Hornady bushing dies a try and I'm very happy so far. I've only used redding standard type dies a couple times and my results were no different than the cheap RCBS jobbies. But yeah right now I'm using Hornady bushing die to FL size and forster ultra mic seater. They're both made well, are effective and the price was great. I'm still in load development so I can't say exactly what my groups are going to look like but so far it's looking preddy handsome. Can't really speak to the comparable reddings but I'd encourage you to try bushing dies. BIG reason for this: When you're trying to get very precise resizing of the body for exact repeatable headspace this usually involves multiple trips through the press. For me about 20 percent spring back for one reason or another, then I run those through again, occasionally a third time. (tips are welcome, different lube is on the shopping list.) If I was doing that with a standard die the necks would be beyond trashed. [/QUOTE]
