What resizing Dies are you guys using for 300 Norma? I would like to have a Redding competition neck sizer but Redding doesn't offer it in 300 Norma. I typically use a Lee collet die followed up with a Redding body die if needed. Lee can make a 300 Norma collet die for me as I have had them to make a custom size for me before. Just wondering what's working best for the rest of you in this cartridge.
What dies for 300 norma?

Idk if you're a Facebook user, but there is a page dedicated to 300 norma shooters, lots of info there. I have a redding type s FL bushing sizer, and forster benchrest micrometer seater die. Lapua brass can be purchased from Canadian sources, 270$ cdn shipped, about 200$ American.
Wish I could tell you, rifle slater for completion next week. I went off recommendations from guys of the FB page. Here's a link to the lapua brass https://www.tesro.ca/reloading/brass/lapua-300-norma-mag-reloading-cases-box-of-100.html
Any time

I went with the Redding type S FL die. It's served me well with two other calibers.

I've been using the Forster Benchrest F/L die and seater since 2015 and I couldn't be happier. I also bought a Redding Bushing neck die, but have yet to use it since I'm still on my first FF loads with the Norma brass.
FWIW I had issues with the Whidden seating dies deforming the bullets while seating bullets and would use either Redding, or a Forster. Although I did like the Whidden Bushing F/L click system for setback of the shoulder, just not their seaters.

Use Whidden.
