[QUOTE="vmaxmike, post: 2540087, member: 61756"] From a hunting stand point I see no issues with Hornady dies, I would and have picked them over RCBS and Lee dies. The Premium dies , Redding, Forster, Wilson are more geared towards Long range (500yrds + ) and bench shooters IMO. Hornady dies properly set up will produce excellent Ammo. I own both Hornady , Forester Micrometer, and Redding Micrometer / Bushing dies. I've used RCBS and switched to Hornady. The Only Lee dies I use are their collet neck dies, and factory crimp both are well worth the money. My opinion comes from first hand experience, but to each their own. Take the time to develop the load your gun likes, be diligent with case prep and loading technique. IMO that will be far more important that if you used $50 Hornady dies or $400 Redding ones when it comes to hunting loads. Now if you're shooting PRS or at extreme distance this is where the money spent on premium dies can pay off, but only if the gun, load and shooter are up to the task. Redding Dies alone will not get you sub MOA groups at 800 yrds. M. [/QUOTE]
