Sinclair. They offer neat Wilson hand dies. The neck sizer uses a bushing which can be had in various diameters to size the neck just right for your brass, bullet, and chamber. You hold this die in your hand and tap the case into it with a plastic or rawhide mallet, and once it's driven all the way in and sized, you turn it around and whack the end of the decapping rod to decap and eject the case. Very easy on the brass. Slow but pleasant work, produces superb accuracy. I do it for my .30-'06 bolt rifle; I suppose that for an autoloader it might be less practical.

Lee collet neck dies have also produced excellent accuracy for me. The are cheaper than WIlson hand dies, but they do a good job.
