Poacher,

 

Comes down to a 'Marmite' decision A lot of people settle on a certain make and stick with it regardless so, like cleaning methods, it becomes an interesting debate.

 

A lot of 'acceptable' ammo has been loaded on Lee gear ( http://leeprecision.com/reloading-dies/rifle-dies/ ) then at the other extreme you have Warner tools ( http://www.warner-tool.com/#!reloading-dies/c1w4a )

 

First off what are you trying to achieve or reload for, this might drive your answer(s)?

 

Personally I like Reading and Forster dies but my next sizing die will be a Whidden honed out to match my fired brass ( http://www.whiddengunworks.com/custom-reloading-dies/ )

 

I use Wilson seating dies as you can 'feel' what is going on.

 

Brgds

Triebel, Forster and Redding

[jcampbellsmith]

The current arsenal includes Redding, Forster, Whidden and Wilson dies. Regards JCS

[andybrock]

I use Redding bushing dies for FL resizing, Whidden for forming 22br brass and Wilson bullet seaters.

I have some Redding, RCBS, and Lee, the lee collet dies are excellent.

[poacher]

I use mostly rcbs Redding & Wilson to reload find all produce very acceptable results I have a friend just starting to reload & an allowing him to use a lot of my gear to avoid initial expense for him but I am interested in what the majority of us use thanks for all your inputs gents

[Ronin]

Forster, Redding and Wilson depending what calibre I am loading.

 

Some applications I have made my own dies which work equally well as proprietary.

 

Pointing dies - Whiddon

Redding primarily,,,,,,,Lee can make good ammo too,,although I have on occasions seen the need to remove some material{easy to do} from the neck sizing mandrel to get a bit more neck tension.

[triggersqueezer]

for ease redding comp (bushing) full length ,but for amal give your ammo some love i use wilson seater.

Redding type S, Redding body only, and Lee collet dies..................wish Lee did one for 6.5

redding used in a co ax......zero to 0.0005" runout.

 

With figures like that, i've never bother with wilson.

[ds1]

I would second that, Redding comp bushing dies with a Forster Co-ax.

[DaveT]

Third that!

Lee will make you one, they have a custom shop on their website, they aren't that expensive really for something custom built..

+1 for H/Man's post. I spent a good while searching for a 6.6 Lee Collet die yesterday. Redding and Lee for my .308. Going to go for Forster for the 6.5 over the next few days. No real brand fixation, just work with what seems to work for me, everyones different and it makes for a good discussion on the range over a brew.

[baldie]

Morse...Dont.

 

Buy Redding.
