Redding Type S bushing set - 2 die or 3 die?

[ShtrRdy]

Is there a general concensus on which resizing process gives you the least runout when using either the Full Length neck bushing die or the combination of Body die and Neck Sizing die?

I've used the 2-die sets for years. Zero issues.

I have the 3 die sets. Wish I’d have gone with a 2 die set. Any time you want to fl size, you just created twice the work.

You can make straighter ammo with the FL die.

Make your own 2-die set.... Get the Redding FL Type S and then go for a Forster Benchrest (or the mic head loader).
Forster will sell you parts so you can use the same chamber loading die assembly for other calibers in the same case family.
IE, a .30-06 benchrest die can load .338-06 with a .34cal seating stem, or a .270win w/.27cal seating stem.
Actually the Type S will allow similar leeway. A .308win S die will deliver quality results for .260rem, 7mm-08, .338 Federal; Just buy the bushings...

I moved to Benchrest style from Mic style on the Forsters because I use dial caliper to verify any oal changes and find the Benchrest simpler due to 2pc rather than 3pc design.
