[QUOTE="Savage 12BVSS, post: 1853922, member: 112413"] Let me give you a personal example of die selection that happened to me at the beginning. I was dumb as a rock and listening to my mentor and friend every step of the reloading way. He was smart and experienced and I wasn't, everything he suggested was spot on except die selection. He was of the opinion that they were all pretty much the same and suggested hornady dies, I went right out and bought three sets for my cartridges. I won't bad mouth them cause they must please some loader's but the words I used were not good. They were not the choice for me, I read up and chose a set of forster benchrest die's. They were eighty something and the hornady's were about forty. Soon as I tried them with spindles that didn't pull out and sizer's that really worked I knew all was not the same. I Gave the hornady's to my friend and bought two more sets of forster's, I told him how grateful I was for his teaching and help with reloading. But when it comes to dies do your homework as you are doing now on this forum and make an informed decision. Don't spend money twice to get what you will use for many years and will be the heart of your ammo accuracy. Dave [/QUOTE]
