I have a set of Lee dies for each calibre I own (currently 38spl, 44 Mag, 223, 243, 6.5CM 303 & 308). For the rifle set these include the collet neck-sizer and the factory crimp die. I have had some RCBS dies in the past, but found them more fiddly than the Lee one for no great advantage, so...

I like Alan's idea of calibrating your thermometer/thermocouple by the melting point of a metal as these are more-or-less fixed. I'd use copper (at 1084 C) as the brass & aluminium alloys have varying melting points. Triffid

Yes and they are often done at the same time. I've just completed my first bedding job, a Howa 308 into a Boyds laminate stock. I did it after the stock screws came slightly loose, affecting accuracy; when i tightened up the screws to the recommended torque, I noticed that the stock was bending...

Thanks, arrived safely. Triffid
