STW dies

[HOOFER]

Did a search and came to no real decision. I'm a long time STW shooter/reloader. Have only ever used a factory model 70. And loaded enough to be good enough for reasonable 400 and less deer/elk shooting. Ive has fancy Redding and Wilson dies in other calibers. But never for this. I'm in the process of buying a Custom STW and wondering what everyone is running for top performance. I have a set of RCBS dies from about 15 years ago. recommendations?

Thanks in advance

I use the Redding competition seater die

I was using a Forster FL die and bumping the shoulder back 0.002" for some time. It worked very well. Upped my game and went to a Redding body die and Type S bushing neck sizing die.

I finally figured out that the 3 die set was more appropriate for the case prep process I use. Just like the guns in my safes, I've got a closet full of die mistakes.
