Re: Best die $ can buy?
If these are all hunting rounds, the Forster dies are the best available. Forster's seater design is equalled by Redding's mic die. If you want a bushing FL sizer, Redding.
You will pay nearly twice as much for Forster's standard dies, but they are superior in design and implementation. Equalled only by Redding in quality for production dies.
If you have custom-chambered barrels for target work, then you may be interested in taking a different approach. Suggested reading is Glen Zediker's <span style="text-decoration: underline">Handloading for Competition</span>.
