[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2819700, member: 27307"] If you're loading strictly hunting ammunition, nearly any or all of the reloading die manufacturers can help you with this and with your attention to detail will make fine ammunition. There are very few advances in manufacturing reloading dies. Most differences come with the range of styles which are available from each manufacturer. The biggest change came from the high speed manufacturing processes. The cost of manufacturing dies is relatively small. The ego of the manufacturers can be huge, especially when it comes to their pricing structure. You can buy RCBS, Lee, Hornady, etc. to control the cost or you can pay an exorbitant increase just for the pleasure of saying you own Redding without any gain in making better ammunition. Realize that one of the basic cost increase is the Quality Control aspect. Far too many companies have now skipped this part and don't catch the failures which were usually caught previously. There are many threads written which detail every complaint possible from the manufacturers. If you truly wish to own the best dies then look at Warner Tool Co. dies which are custom made from your brass: [URL]https://www.warner-tool.com/reloading-dies/[/URL] [URL]https://www.warner-tool.com/product/wtc-custom-sizing-die/[/URL] Read his instructions careful to understand the differences. At one time I also used Whidden dies, not quite as expensive as WTC but high none the less. Now I make my own and control all the variables which can be found in reloading dies. I have them when I need them and the cost is minimal with my time and labor being the biggest share. If you want to look at the better source of dies, take a look at the L.E. Wilson website: [URL]https://lewilson.com/[/URL] Enjoy the process! :) [/QUOTE]
