    I just ordered 300WM dies (Redding body, Forster seater and Lee collet neck) from Sinclairs/Brownells.
    Just grin and bear the US $45 postage fee, so best to get a big order together to make it worthwhile.

    Anything out of the ordinary, ie micrometer seater, Forster and Redding I've previously got from Sinclairs/Brownells.
    However check out Workshop Innovations as they are carrying more stock along those lines and are reasonably competitive when freight from the us is taken into account, especially now with the NZD dropping.

    I've ordered a redding micrometer seating die and a forster bush n bump neck sizing die for both 243 and 223 from Sinclair in the past

    Excellent, relatively fast service.

    For the record I'm thinking of moving from the redding (which is AWESOME) to the sinclair

    The Sinclair seats to 0.0005" ie half a thou ... but the rub is it uses an Arbor press rather than a "standard(?)" press ...

    definetly worth ordering in a few things to make the most of the 50$ charge, things like oal gauges, comparators and stuff

    Ive got a forster micrometer seater die for one of my rifles , and a micrometer seater, benchrest FL, and neck bushing bump die for my 6.5/284 from gunstop.com

    They had it all in stock and I think were a little bit cheaper than sinclairs. Sinclairs do some nice stuff though

    ive also got some redding dies and I prefer the forster as they are quite a lot cheaper and just as good quality/if not better
