What are the best dies possible for 338 ultra mag Redding, Foster, Rcbs.? Are competition dies worth the $300?

My choice would be the Redding Type-S Match Full Die Set. Should run around $150 - $160. According to my info, Forster doesn't furnish dies in your caliber.

If you're hunting, you can get by with less. For the best possible, you can get a sizing die made to match your chamber. Use the Redding micrometer seater.

think about the money for cheaper you could get a nice set of rcbs i have used rcbs dies for years reloading as small as 22 hornet all the way to a 416 rigby the main guns i reload with the dies are a remington model 700 7mm mag and a ruger hawk eye m77 338 ultra mag and the dies run about 60 to 70 bucks spending the extra money aint needed

Standard Redding 3 die set works fine for my .5moa hunting rifle.
