[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 1123640, member: 5302"] Redding's and RCBS's full length bushing dies are probably the best commercial ones to resize bottleneck cases. Sierra resizes all their fired cases in the Redding ones for accuracy test cartridges they're available for. Their match bullets shoot under 1/2 MOA in their 200 yard test range; 1/4 MOA or better groups are common. That's as good as short range benchrest aggregate records. The only other commercial die that is a tiny bit better is one from Forster that they've honed the neck out to customer specs. Such dies make case necks a bit better centered on case bodies because they keep the neck sizing chamber perfectly aligned with the body chamber. Redding and RCBS bushing dies don't do that; their bushings float in a chamber with a couple thousandths clearance. But few people will be able to tell the difference shooting ammo from either one.
