What to buy?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am not currently set up for 303, I was thinking of buying the Lee
deluxe die set with the collet die, and the factory crimp die. I plan
to neck size only, and just set the shoulder back when necessary. 

Does anyone have any other favorites?

Ed

	Ed I reckon that the Lee Dies are as good of place to start .I use RCBS for .303 & have lyman for the 25-303 ,but a lee dies for a number of other cals & have no complaints with them ! Dave

	Thanks, Dave. I have RCBS for some calibers, got the Hornady new dimension for 8mm and actually prefer the Lee. Ed

	Hey Kurt. I use the lee press and dies. I love mine. I recommend it to anyone that is trying to get into reloading. It's a great starter press. But for you, beings how you already have a press, I'd go with whatever is cheapest, and works... i.e. the lee dies!! Eric

	That's what I thought, Eric. I just wanted to make sure I got a neck-size only die. and I understand the factory crimp die is very popular. I'll give a review when I receive them. Ed
