I'm just wondering what dies not you have found to be the best? I'm using Redding right now. Been looking at Wilson chamber type dies and the new whidden click adjustable dies.
Favorite 6br reloading dies?

Harrell's or neck-honed Forster for sizing. Wilson for seating. Hammock for relaxing. [Or did you mean reloading?]
Yeah relaxing lol. Sometimes I think I have a liberal phone. It doesn't like to spell anything firearms related lol
Loaded up 5 rounds so I have something to send out for a sizing die. I didn't have any fired brass. I've prepped all my brass this winter lol. I drove the 1.3 miles to my range and fired them. Our range goes from 50-300 yards. I'm pretty lucky. Funny story I'll have to tell ya later. Now to sell my Redding dies to fund the new ones.

Harrell's likes to have three brass fired three times each.
This was the 4th firing of these cases.
Ok thanks!
What would be a good asking price for this die set? They are in perfect condition.

So I loaded up those 5 rounds again just for kicks. The only measurement that changed was the case length....so I think I'm good. With my Redding comparator setup at saami minimum shoulder, after 4 firings they are running .005 -.006" over.
It shot really well too. I seated the bullets just kissing the lands. It was 33 deg out 15mph wind and snowing. I shot a .4" group off a bipod and rear bag at 100 yards.

I went with the Forster, against the advice of one that I respect for his experience. Have been using their micrometer seater as well. However, I am building a BRX and will likewise be using a honed Forster but will be using the Wilson seater. And yes, they are top drawer.
I need to get my lathe up and running so I can learn to do this stuff myself!
Very nice!
I think Forster only charges around $10 to hone out their dies...
