I am getting collet dies for the chamberings that I already have Pacesetter die sets for. I am getting Delux die sets for the chamberings I don't have dies for yet. I bought the dies and gave them to a friend who reloads but doesn't have those chamberings, and he has reloaded some ammo for me. Now I'm getting into reloading for myself. I have not received any of my equipment yet as I just ordered it the other day.

I have bolt actions in 6.5X55, 7X57, .303 British (2 of them), .30-40 Krag, and .30-06. I want to set up the dies in a seperate turret for each rifle. I will have to see how it works out, but may set the turrets up with the collet dies and just use the Challenger press to FL size when needed. At this point I'm still trying to figure out which way to do things that's the most efficient while giving me the results I'm looking for. That would be clean fire formed neck sized brass for each bolt action rifle.

Thanks for your input, I truly appreciate it.
