Good set of Dies for 6.5 Grendel?

[Tactical30]

I need a good set of dies (seating/Sizing-Decapping) for reloading my 6.5 Grendel. The thing is I dont want to crimp or have to screw around with any bushings. I was going to purchase the Forester Ultra Die Set but i keep hearing problems about them like they are only good if you are reloading with Lapua Brass (which mainly is the brass im going to be using). Any other options?
(using single stage RCBS rock chucker press)

I am using Redding dies and they work GREAT. I also am loading with Lapua brass.

They are the Competition dies.

When I was loading for the Grendel I used the Redding Comp dies and they work very well. Why don't you want to use a bushing die? In my load testing and dev, varying the neck tension made a big difference in the accuracy of the loads...

Details? Can't imagine dies being able to differentiate among brands of brass. Actually, Forster will hone the neck of their sizing die to your spec for a very nominal fee if you prefer to not use a bushing die.

I prefer Redding
I just sent a brand new Foster 6.5 Grendel back to Sinclair as it was defective. THe internal D ring kept coming off...
I am sure they will replace it, but the Redding is not available backordered for 3 months now...

Checked the prices on those Redding Comp dies. Expensive! Looks like im going to purchase tho cuz they look like the best set to get for 6.5, there isnt that many to choose from.
