Shane when you say as "accurate as possible" I translate that to mean precision ammo. My advice to you would be to simply buy the best store bought ammo that you can, because the road to "accurate as possible/precision" is not easy or cheap. Most hunters don't shoot enough to justify the expense of all the tools/toys to required to get there. Most hunters shoot less than 20 rounds a year. Guys interested in precision shooting put anywhere form 1,000 to 3,000 rounds a year down range. And most started out with the goal of getting the ammo as "accurate as possible". It just grows on you.

Having said that, if you have the time, money and inclination (two out of three won't work) and are looking for a hobby that requires both intellectual and physical discipline, indoor preparation and outdoor fun, than this is a great hobby.

FYI, since you've already decided to buy new dies, Wilson and redding both make dies with "bushings". Bushings are little steel donuts that fit inside the die and they are made in increments of .001. To find out the size that you need, with the calipers, measure the neck of a loaded round than subtract .001 and that gives you the size of the bushing that you will need.
