Dies

[Hondo1]

what dies are y'all having the best luck with? I have been using entry level Redding, RCBS, and Hornady die sets. I have been looking at Forster and Whidden. Any advice or input would be much appreciated.

Redding, Forster for me. My Whidden dies suck but others have had better luck.

I use Forster in several different calibers and am pleased.

Redding Type-S Match w/ competition seater. If you want the absolute best go custom, specifically Warner Tools.

I use Redding Type-S Bushing for sizing and the Forester Micrometer for seating.

Redding Type S FL die for sizing but sometimes I use it w/o bushing and expander in conjunction with the Lee Collet, when I don't need to full size or bump the shoulder back I use the Lee Collet die only. For seating Forster Micrometer seating die.

Thank you all for the input.

I'm an equal opportunity employer as my dies include Herters,RCBS,Bonanza, LE Wilson, Redding, Forster, Hornady, Dillon, Lee, and a few Homade. I am really liking the Lee ultimate sets. The $$ is right, their collets are excellent, and the quality is good. I definitely mix and match i.e. Lee collet, Forster micrometer seater.

I started with Hornady and they are ok but I'm slowly switching over to Forster. The micrometer Seating Forster die is top notch.

I really like my Whidden dies. I have a min chamber 6.5 CM and I use them to resize cases fired in my friend's 6.5 RPR - big bases to reduce. They work great. I use their non bushing expander mandrel type sizing die. It gives me perfect neck tension with less than .001 RO. Produces reloads that are incredibly accurate. I also have the Redding FL bushing and seater dies and they do just as well. I swap back and forth depending on the brass I'm using.
