I’ve had great results with the micron dies

Anything you like about them that stands out above the rest? I was looking at them earlier today actually
They seem to size the base of the brass better. I had clickers with another brand of dies. Not with this die. It was new Lapua brass in a factory AXMC barrel, so the chamber may be a little on the large side of the spec? Either way, no issues now.
Which brand did you struggle with? I’ve had the worst clickers with ADG brass in a Forster die. Using Lapua brass, the clickers were on and off. Sent my die to Forster and they sent one back that was a better fit for my chamber, and have had no issues through only 15 rounds with the new die. Still skeptical as clickers just suck haha. Been looking to try a new brand
I just spoke with Jace at Bullet Central, sizing die on back order, he has 20 inquiries in the last two weeks and is looking into getting the dies high on the priority list with manufacturing.
Damm, sizing die out of stock
If you need one get a Forster die. If you call in, ask for Josh. He is a gunsmith, chambers barrels the whole 9 yards. Forster is a small company, and they have some great people working there. Like the above post if you send them in some fired brass i believe they will custom fit it for you.
SAC dies are what I'm waiting for. I ran 300NM a few years ago, and stepped away for a while. I used micron dies. They worked, but i think the SAC dies are going to be the cats ass.

I spoke to Short Action Customs this morning, they will not have a bushing sizing die in 300 Norma Magnum until the fall, when asked what month that is, they would not commit as there are variables outside of their control. I have several Short Action Custom dies and accessories, Mark Gordon makes excellent products.
I just orderd a Micron arbor seating die from Bullet Central so I can seat bullets at the range if necessary. I'm thinking of ordering a bushing seating die from Whidden who I also own dies from. How long did it take Forster to make you a custom sizing die from fired brass?

The other issue is the 300 norma die SAC is making is a proprietary size i believe only SAC is making the adapter to work in their press. I'm sure more will be made by other companies in the future. I would call in and ask. I believe they don't do a full custom die, but they will hone them or whatever needs to be done to make them work for your chamber.
