I'd get a good 2 die set - FL sizer and seater - in Redding or RCBS. Then also get a Lee collet necksizer. It needs no lube, and is one of the best things Lee makes.
Generally, the "heavy bullet hits higher" thing is due to barrel time, and the handgun recoiling more in the extra milliseconds. In a rifle, the bullet is out of the muzzle before the recoil hits, I think.
hope this helps,
