Re: best dies for hunting ammo
I've used most all and found that a Lee collet can deliver super low run-out in cases where my RCBS, Redding or Forster don't. I'm so impressed I'm gonna try a RCBS X die next. I have some bench rest seaters and can't say I see much inprovement for the extra money in hunting ammo. In FL dies I also don't see much difference, like Redding and Forster. I don't like the funky Lee locking nut at all on FL or seaters, but put up with it on the collet die, would never buy another full set of Lee.

I am sure you will get a lot of replies to this question. I do not claim to be an expert, but I have been really happy with the Hornady New Dimension dies. They are highly polished inside, you can barely tell cases have been resized. The bullet guide on the seating die is pretty slick too.
