[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 2326979, member: 42157"] Since back in the 70's everyone I knew who hunted expected and commonly shot a legal buck out to 3-500 yards when that was the shot needed. Little did I know until the last craze we were Long Range Hunters forever. I have used RCBS and Redding standard dies for 40+ years for my rifles with great results. I would and still just add a neck sizer or get the three die set. I have tried a few of the Redding Bushing dies the last decade. For me and my accuracy wants (.5" or better and won't hunt with it if over .75" 100yd groups) I have seen almost no difference due to what die or seating die I used. Yes I can tweak and adjust more with the bushing dies, but pure accuracy results are very very close to the same. Bushing dies give about .1-.200" with some rifles but not all. Sure, custom dies and the high end micro adjustment dies offer more precision you just have to decide if the gain is worth the cost in dies and load development. [/QUOTE]
