Maybe instead of worrying about spending money on "premium dies" consider getting a dial & fixture that measures run out. Cartridge necks are never to short, too long, too dainty, too stout or whatever to hold a bullet straight. All I'll say to that is if you are handling loaded rounds so roughly that they get "crooked" you are wayyyyyyy too rough. Use cheap dies (Lee) if you prefer & use the gauge to sort them. As a matter of fact, some shooters mark their ammo as to the "high-side" with a marker & make sure the mark goes into the chamber at 12 o'clock every time for target shooting. Sometimes, the difference between what you can do with $20 dies vs $200 dies is not significant. The gauge tells all.

FWIW...
