[QUOTE="trhall, post: 1432049, member: 26233"] I'm sure there are better and more expensive die sets but I have had good luck with the Hornady Match Grade dies. I bought them a few years ago and just haven't felt the need to spend more money to upgrade yet. I have 2 custom 300 win mags that I load for and both shoot from .25 - .38 MOA on paper at 200 yards and on a great day for me I was able to shoot 3 hot groups with each rifle from .45 - .61 MOA at 973 yards. That was my best day, I consistently can shoot both rifles sub MOA out to 1,000 yards. To me this argument is kinda like the brass argument. Is there better, more expensive brass (Lapua, etc) yes. I elect to buy cheaper brass and invest my time in the prep of it. In the end I think I end up with an equal product. I also enjoy doing all that. It gives me more confidence when I shoot that I and the wind are the main variables. Hornady dies Berger 215 OTM Hybrid H-1000 powder 76.5 - 76.8 gr Winchester brass, annealed, neck turned, primer pocket squared, flash hole de-burred, every third firing collet resizing die, head spaced on shoulder -.002 using Full Length sizing die every time. R-Bros LWLRH 300WM 27" Broughton Barrel Berger 215 Hybrid Win Brass 3064 fps Customized Mod 70 27" Shilen Match barrel Berger 215 Hybrid Win Brass 3007 fps [/QUOTE]
