6.5x47 lapua dies?

[TEAMSENDIT]

I just bought a 6.5x47 lapua and I ordered the brass already, but I was wondering which dies would be the best. I normally use redding competition seater with a neck bushing die, but I was looking at the forrestor set which is considerbly cheaper and didn't know what peoples experiences are with the 2.

thanks scott

I use the ones your considering and my ammo shoots as good as a buddy's 6.5x47 built with the same reamer but he uses Redding.

You can't beat the 3-piece Redding competition kit.
I saw the Forster set up and did not like the seater die.

I use the Forster 6.5x47 dies and like them just as well as the Redding competition dies. The micrometer graduations are not as easy to see on the Forster dies as the Redding, but this hasn't caused any problems.

Biggest difference is neck tension is easier to adjust with the Redding due to the bushings, but you can send your die to Forster and they'll hone the ID to a dimension you specify.
