Die Selection for 300 Win Mag
So I've been considering changing out my RCBS dies to improve run out / concentricity and have narrowed my selection down to the following:

1. LEE Collet Die for neck sizing

2. Redding Body Die to FL resize when needed except for neck and use the Lee to set the neck

3. Redding Competition Bullet Seater

Interested in what you all think of this selection.

Redding, Lee or RCBS body die; just fine.

Redding competition seating die; very good.

Lee Collet Die; maybe not so fine. I have a 300 Win. Mag. in which I've tried various methods of sizing and then compared accuracy results. Accuracy was about the same with with full length sized cases and with cases sized with a traditional neck sizing die (Redding) and inferior in those sized with a Lee Collet Die. The same thing happened in loading a 7mm/08. I have used them for necking sizing other cartridges though with acceptable results.

Well I ordered them. If the Lee Collet doesn't work, well I guess I'm only out $20.

Thanks.
