[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 2894856, member: 87371"] L E Wilson dies are possibly overkill for a hunting rifle. I like them for my bench rest rifles, and especially for bullet seating, because they have a micrometer seating die that is very well aligned. You will need an arbor press for L E Wilson dies -- they do not have threads that allow you to screw them into a reloading press. If you are reloading for hunting, you will find that RCBS or Redding dies are totally satisfactory, and you can (must, actually) use them in a reloading press. You will find many people on this site talking about the RCBS Rockchucker press as being very good for general reloading. Others will tell you the Bonanza co-axial press gives you better alignment between the shell holder and the dies, because the dies "float" a little in the press. I solve this dispute by having both. I find I like the leverage of the Bonanza press for really bumping shoulders or forming wildcat cartridges. Redding has sizing dies that allow you to select neck sizing bushings that will give you exactly the amount of tension you want on your bullets. Even this is probably overkill when loading for hunting unless you are shooting at very long range. [/QUOTE]
