What advantage is there between the different types of Redding dies. Premium set Master Hunter Competition
Need a set of 7mm prc dies. Always purchase premium sets with micro adjuster seating die in the past. Wondering if I’m missing something

I agree, spend a little more and get the competition set.
it took multiple times of "upgrading" later at additional costs for me to learn this..

I never rely on ONE set of reloading die sets. There are plenty with different features.
Just yesterday on line, I saw on Graf and Sons, where a box of 20 rounds was the exact same price as a Die Set.
Die Sets are cheap in the bigger picture of reloading.

what about the resizing die ? Redding bushing resizing die with bushings is important. but if you want better dies take 3 new cases shoot them thru your rifle send to Whidden die company to make your dies to your rifle chamber and get the best dies made . but call Whidden 1st. Pete53

Depending on the precision I'm looking for out of the rifle, but my best ammo comes from a body die, then a competition neck sizing die, then a mandrel die.

I have a combination of Redding Competition seaters, Forster BR seaters, and I'm flirting with an arbor setup. My favorite seaters so far are Redding Competition seaters with the stem to match the bullets I'm shooting.

I prefer the competition seater with the sliding sleeve alignment system. Forster, Redding, or RCBS?

The RCBS competition seaters haven't been quite as good as the Redding and Forster for runout. I haven't tried an RCBS Matchmaster seater.
