I reload mostly rifle rounds anymore, 243 Winchester, 264 Winchester Mag, 7mm Remington Mag, 7WSM, 300 Savage, 30-06, 300 Winchester Mag, 338 Winchester Mag. I can get what I think is acceptable accuracy (1" for most, some 1.5", some sub 1/2") using standard RCBS dies but am striving for better. My questions are: Is the added cost of premium or match dies worth it in your opinion? If so, what would be a general expectation of group improvement if I were to start using the better dies?
