I use an LE Wilson FL bushing die for sizing. For seating I use a Forster Ultra Micrometer seating die.

Are they really worth the money?

In my opinion, yes. The neck / shoulder bushing sizes the entire neck and not a portion of the neck like most bushing dies. It has a built in mandrel (with removable decapping pin) so you get mandrel sizing of the neck in one operation so you can reduce the number of operations required for sizing if you normally mandrel size with a separate die.

As they state in their description "We designed the cartridge sizing geometry to size slightly more at the base and slightly less at the shoulder compared to most resizing dies. For properly sized rifle chambers, this helps avoid extraction issues with fired brass and reduces case runout by minimizing over-sizing of the shoulder."

I can say using this die I haven't experienced any extraction issues or "clickers".

ETA: forgot to add the operation of this die is very smooth and does not require excessive force to size or extract cases.

Don't have any 300 prc but also recommend short action custom dies

Bullet central micron has been great and sizes down the base well.

Pair it with short action custom neck bushing

.334 bushing for lapua brass.

.333 for adg

No, they're not worth it as far as I'm concerned. If I want a set of custom dies, I'm having a die made from the dimensions of my chamber reamer drawing. Most brands will work more than fine. I'm using Redding Type S bushing dies, and my rifle shoots phenomenally. Also, if you shoot the brass enough, you'll form donuts. That's the beauty of using a standard bushing; it doesn't size the entire neck, so it allows the bullet to not make contact with the donut and not cause erratic ES/SDs.

I'm using the Forester "benchrest" FL set. I'm happy so far, but I'm only 75 rounds into the caliber.

I got Hornady to make a fl bushing Die from 3x fired Brass. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Great finish, fair price, and fast service. I own my own Reamer, basically an AW2 with some freebore changes. On my 3rd barrel.

Loaded round are 336 for adg and 337 for lapua.

End up being .002-3
