Forster BenchRest with Micrometer!!!
Forster, Redding, RCBS are all good dies and will do the job if setup properly. It all starts with good consistent brass in particular consistent neck wall thickness. I mostly use Redding Dies and have standard, Type S and Competition. For FL sizing I prefer the Type S since the bushings will allow you to control neck tension.
Do I want full length or neck size dies? I only planning on having one rifle in this cal so the brass will stay with the rifle
For consistency's sake most full-length size everytime, rather than just neck size and use a body die now and then. Even the BenchResters have moved away from neck sizing only.
You can't go wrong with Redding Type S FL Bushing die and Competition Seating die. A range of bushing sizes lets you control neck tension as ZiaHunter states. With good brass they make very concentric ammo.

Ok thanks alot
I agree with the previous suggestions...go with the Forster benchrest dies and full-length resize everytime.
