Just bought a Begara B14 HMR Wilderness in 300 PRC what dies set would you recommend. Looking for the most consistant reloads in terms of sizing and seating.
300 prc dies?

The RCBS match master looks like it has a nice feature set. I ordered some FL dies for 300 PRC and I am going to give them a go.
I agree with the replies above. Using Wilson FL bushing resizing die and for seating I run RCBS matchmaster. I also use Sinclair’s expanding mandrel die in the process.
i normally use the Redding competition seating dies for everything. but 2 years ago i could not find them anywhere. i ended up with the RCBS Match master. i had used them previously.... very nice to have the side window
no complaints here midsouth has them currently

I decided to try the Redding S FL with a SAC bushing and RCBS Matchmaster seating die. I went with this combo on my last rifle and have so far been impressed.
One of the biggest issues with most of the die companies is the fact that they won't resize far enoughdown the case, you'll end up with clickers and hard feeding. The only die that resizes the PRC line is the micron die from bullet central. It is the only sizing die a guy should look at for the 300prc so you don't waste your money.

Micron uses JGS resize reamers to cut their dies. I use a 300 PRC SAAMI JGS chamber reamer, I am a big fan of JGS work and products. The Micron die would probably work for me but, keep in mind, sizing dies have to match the chamber. If the chamber was cut with a reamer from a different company or with a non-SAAMI JGS reamer or a worn-out reamer, then the Micron die may not match up.
I use a Wilson sizing die for 300 PRC, I paid about $100 for it. My sized brass fits my chamber. I am using Lapua brass and it has been fired 7 times - primer pockets tight, I get very little case stretch, clean extraction. I see no need to spend three times the money for a Micron die. Your budget may allow that, mine does not. The Micron die may be the most expensive but is it three times better? No way. At a SWAG, no more than 5 percent better.
