[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 791896, member: 9215"] [I]"Going to load for .223. And 300 wsm what dies should I get?"[/I] You'll need a Full Length sizer and Seater for each bottle neck cartridge you load for, all conventional die sets include both. Many people have most favorites and least favorites for a variety of reasons that may be different from what you'll prefer. Advocate hype/slime aside, they all work quite well no matter their price. They are all made to the same average manufactoring (SAAMI) tolerances and there's as much average internal variation in the specific measurements from any maker as there is between makers. Thus, the limiting factor to what you can reload with any average set of dies will depend on you and how well you develop your loads, not the color of your die box. I've never known what powder or bullets or primers or cases "everybody" likes. Nor do I care, I have to use what's available to me and make it work as well as my rigs can shoot. I pick a powder for any new load by what my manual says gets the highest velocity for my bullet weight and start load testing.
