Flyblown,

Super accurate ammo can certainly be loaded with less expensive reloading gear if you're meticulous and take your time to get everything right.

There's nothing wrong with the No.8 fencing wire mentality. Our pioneering forefathers had to improvise because they had no choice. It worked well too most of the time. However, most of us these days do have a choice. Some like to load fast because of the volume they have to reload, some just like nicely engineered gear etc.

My Wilson hand dies and arbour press which I use to load my 6.5 Creedmoor and formerly a 6PPC certainly produce consistently more accurate ammunition than my Co-Ax press does with the Redding bushing dies. Does it make a difference in the field for hunting? Probably not at long range and certainly not at shorter hunting ranges. I use the 6.5 CM for target shooting as well though, so there, every bit of extra accuracy helps. Of course you have to have a rifle that can take advantage of that extra accurate ammo, otherwise you're pushing it uphill.

It's all fun at the end of day.
