Are they worth it? I am using Hornady Custom Grade dies for my Creedmoor.
I just invested in some Lapua brass, and spent last night grinding the recapping pin down.
I use Redding for my Valkyrie, and like those dies, so I thought of switching the FL bushing die.
What size bushing would I use for Lapua, I don't plan on turning necks.
 
Do you plan on expanding necks? If so then get a bushing that is .004 smaller than your loaded rounds outside neck diameter, if you intend to skip expanding them then just get a bushing .002 under.

It might not give you the exact labeled results due to tapers and spring back etc but it should be a good enough starting place.

I wouldnt expect it to just magically give you better shooting ammo though. The hornady die could be a perfect match to your brass and chamber reamer, we cant tell you that.
