Hey folks got a quick question. what is your recommendation for .223 dies? I've been reloading for a few years on a borrowed press with dies, I now have my own press and want a set of my own dies.

Get an RCBS X-die (standard one) for FLS, a Forster Benchrest neck sizer and the Forster Ultra Micrometer seater die. That will cover it.

If you don't want to pop for forster dies, I've had good luck with lee collet dies, but you'll need a full length sizing die also. These for a bolt gun. Of course if you're loading for an AR just buy a set of Lee full length sizing dies. Lee dies are not top of the line stuff, but offer a good value for the money spent.

I have a set of Forster F/L dies with the micro seater that does pretty well. I use the partial full length resizing technique. With match brass my run out is between 0.00 and 0.002.
I bought the "straight bullet measuring thingy" so's HC and Woods would be proud of me.

I use RCBS,Hornaday.Redding and Lee for most all of my reloading.
I yet don't have the body die,micrometer dies and all of the factory crimp dies I want to have.

A Lee collet neck sizer, a Redding body die and a Forster seater.

I use Redding and Hornady. I'm a big fan of Redding, especially the micrometer seating die.
