Thread: 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).

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

I use Hornady dies for most of my reloading including my 260rem and getting great results

Lee neck die. Have just used. Mean.

I have RCBS and Lee dies, I prefer my Lee dies to be honest,

I use lee and hornady both work fine for hunting and target work even my lee loader for a couple of the calibers I shoot make accurate ammunition

Didn't @gimp have some 260 dies for sale lately

The best dies are Redding competition seater and FL bushing sizer imo

The Redding CS is great; I have one. However, I think the Forster CS is slightly better and less expensive too. I like the Redding neck sizer with Wilson bushings more than the Redding bushings.

I used to pay the extra and get the Redding titanium coated bushings. Now I will not use any Redding bushing. Only use Wilson. Reason - found with Redding their stated sizes weren't accurate. Determined this by feel when sizing and with a Mitutoyo inside micrometer. The Wilson ones are spot on to the size stamped on them. They also have a wee taper in them which can be useful to get a slightly different sizing if you reverse them in the die.

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?

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