Reloading dies question
Redding and Forster. Competition seater with bushing neck or FL die.
Why? Because they do what you're asking (plus a bit more).POME likes this.The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice.

The Lee Precision set, the neck die is the biz IMHO.

forster would be my pick if they do your calibres, however I have had excellent results with lee too but they lack adjustability of competition dies. Get them in from the states and save yourself a shitload
Can you get the lee in .260?#BallisticFists

Probably not much in it anymore plus you can get them from Workshop Innovations for a more than fair price. Originally Posted by scoped
