[QUOTE="dsculley, post: 1376172, member: 77514"] I started with the Lee Anniversary kit. That and some Lee dies served me well for several years. I now have a 6.5x47 and when I built that rifle there were not many choices for dies. I wound up with a semi-custom sizing die (Harrell Precision bushing die) and a Forster Micrometer seating die. I like these dies but I can't really say that they make better ammo than the Lee dies that I use for my 7mm RM. Contrary to what some people may say, the Lee Safety Scale is a very good scale. If you wind up with the Lee, check out youtube for the magnet mod to the Lee scale. That is the only downside to the Lee scale, the magnets are not strong enough from the factory. If you upgrade the magnets the damper action is much better and the scale settles much faster. As with any other tool set, you will add to it and personalize it over time. Just my 2¢. [/QUOTE]
