@F.Guffey I have the Competition seater and Competition neck sizing die set.

As I am still experimenting (for a bolt action and ARs) the following setup was used:

Dillon full length sizing die with the decapping stem completely removed.

Sinclair expander die with .222 mandrel (also have the .223)

Redding Competition seating die.

Dillon taper crimp.

Here I am working up loads for the AR. I still need to work with the neck bushing dies. For my own curiosity I wanted to know how good the Dillon dies were.

I have a box of .223 Lapua brass for the bolt action but feel there is more to learn before I get that far. Have been using once fired LC for now.
