Wilson Hand Loading Dies

[Shanerbanner10]

I was just wondering if anyone is using these (with or without an arbor type press)? Seems like a little cheaper way to get quality reloads rather than buying a single stage press.
I have reloaded pistol loads on a press but never reloaded for precision rifles. Would test dies be a good way to get started?

It looks pretty interesting and fairly simple to use. Pros/Cons?

I use them for seating bullets on precision hunting/target rifles, use the neck dies for varmint/benchrest guns. You don't want to FL resize with them, and I prefer FL sizing with a neck bushing for hunting rigs. You'll still need the single stage press for other operations even if you have hand dies.

I use Wilson seaters for most of the cartridges I shoot. The neck sizer dies only size 3/8" of neck and that's not enough neck tension for a magazine fed rifle. Also the neck sizer bushing is engaging the neck before case is supported in die. Neil Jones arbor press neck dies support case before bushing is lowered. For uniform neck tension cases should be outside neck turned before sizing with with bushing only.
