Hi,
new to deer stalking, just about to start reloading. Got a few bits already, and am about to order the rest, cost being an issue, I will be going mainly for Lee.
But I don't really know what dies to go for. I am thinking of Lee, RCBS, and Hornady at the moment.
The Lee dies I am thinking about are the Lee Ultimate set. Which includes full length-resizing die , collet neck sizing die, dead length bullet seating die and a factory crimp die.
But I believe the bullet seating die doesn't support the head before seating it in the case - but RCBS and Hornady dies do. But RCBS and Hornady are selling 2 die sets, and I would need to add either a full size or neck die at extra cost to get to the same versatility at extra cost.
And on top of that, if I go for Hornady, if I feel the need sometime in the future, I can upgrade the seating die to micrometer adjustment for £24.
An thoughts, ideas, guidance, or opinion?
Most of my shooting is on a range, in .223 or 308.
