[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 477953, member: 15748"] Go with the standard Type S die and don't worry about the micometer neck die. Gilding the lily here, and the Type S does precisely the same thing for a whole lot less. The standard dies aren't hard to adjust, and I've never seen the utilility of being able to adjust my neck bushing down just another .001" or .003", so long as I've gotten a sufficient powrtion of the neck sized to begin with. You're going to need a full length or body die at some point anyway, and the savings on the micrometer neck die will just about pay for that. Different story on the seating die, and there I definately [U]do[/U] like the micrometer adjustment here. Redding or Forster, both are good, pick one and call it a day. Boomtube's perfectly correct that they don't load any straighter ammo than the non-micrometer version, but I like the added convenience of being able to fine tune the seating depth and am willing to pay the difference.
