Hi gents,
I have a Forster Co-Ax press and would normally prefer their dies... however, for a 338-06, they aren't listed among their standard calibers. They want approx $70. for a full length sizing die and about the same for the seating die.

Whose dies do you recommend?


Regards,
Brian

I used RCBS for twenty years, then switched to Redding. Now, if Forster makes it, that is what I use. Otherwise Redding. I really like Redding's type "S" dies. Both Redding and Forster micrometer style seating dies are top notch.

I almost forgot.

For the utmost in accuracy I use Wilson dies for my smaller cartridges (6mm PPC, 222, 22 PPC). Those are used with a mallet or an arbor press.

Thanks for your replies.
Lawndart, any height issues with the Redding S dies on the Forster press?
