So what dies

[Doc78]

So with everyone's experience which bushing dies work best. Looking for reliable neck tension.

Thanks

Redding Type S Bushing Dies.

RCBS makes one in a .264 LBC also.

3 bushings, .287, .288, and .289 are recommended.

I just got a set of Hornady dies, I like them. In some ways they are much better the the RCBS dies I have used in the past. The bullet seating system is very good.

I'll second the Redding Type S dies.

Some use the expander, others (like myself) remove the expander or de-cap as a separate step.

Based on which brass I am sizing, I have bushings from .286 to .288". I get .003" of tension from the .286 with Hornady brass, and from the .287 with Lapua.

The .288 is for if/when I reload for a bolt action.

Best bushing dies made. Actually, they are also bump dies too. The bushing is neck and shoulder. $220.00 a set for custom dies. You will spend that much on the Redding Type S die set.

I have both and you asked which was the best.

Those look like nice dies. I see they size them to your fired case.
Does that mean they can only be shot in one barrel?

Not unless you have a chamber that is way out of specs.

I have used mine in four different chambers, some Grendel and some what you know as .264 LBC.

Just make sure Neil knows you want a full length sizing die.
