Im not doing anything crazy... I tore down my rem 700... had a bartlein put on it...blue printed action.... im going to try alot of different bullets to see what the barrel likes...

with the new precision build.... it only make sense to use match ammo in a precision build right??? im not asking for load data... im asking what dies are good to make the higher quality ammo???


RCBS Competition 2-Die Set 308 Winchester
^^^^is my current thoughts
 
Ultimate would be a custom Resizing Die..either made by your rifle builder from a blank and or send three fired cases to Harrels Precision and he will send U a custom die reasonably priced that matches your chamber...
 
Type s match neck die set by redding. It's got all you need except for the bushings. 170.99$ for the set and it will do everything you need it to do.
 
Redding bushing sizer dies and Redding competition seating dies are very well made. Your press is another consideration. With the best dies a mediocre press will give you the same old garbage. The Forster Co-Ax press is good.
 
I'm mostly using Redding bushing neck/FL dies with various micro seaters from Redding, Forster and Hornady.

I don't think you can go wrong with the RCBS Competition stuff and their side loading micro seater is pretty neat.
