[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1334415, member: 97196"] Usually go with Forster or Redding dies but I like the Hornady seating dies. Some of my Hornady seater plugs are custom formed with epoxy for a specific bullet to avoid scaring the bullet I have found the Forster Co-Ax press unmatched for producing concentric rounds. Flyers are much less common after switching to the Co-Ax a few years back. Still use the rock chucker for pistol rounds I use various brass and generally have good results if unmixed, weight matched and necks turned. I will find a good price for a particular caliber and pick up enough to last for years and never mix in another make. I keep the fired brass in separate containers based on the number of times they have been fired. Lapua - very good but those I have worked with seem to require more frequent annealing. Hornady - Good but usually have to weight sort them and the belts on the 300 win mag can be higher and bind if your chamber tolerances are close. Norma - the most consistent in my experience. Federal - I have had great results using WSM Federal brass. Could go on but just demonstrating the need to carefully sort the brass to improve results, regardless of brand. [/QUOTE]
