I posted this question in the 6.5x55 Swede thread because it happens to be the current caliber I need to buy dies for however the question is really about rifle dies in general.
I am attempting to discover which company's dies are best and why. Lee for instance makes large claims about their fully aligned bullet seating die and their extra factory crimp die, Hornady is claimed by many to be "micro adjustable" with the higher competition die price and easier to make adjustments, then there is the idea of just buying the comp dies to get the micrometer adjustment dies......cheaper than buying the wrong dies first then selling them off to buy the better set.
What can you experienced reloaders share to help a fellow addict?
Thanks for your time in advance.
