I need advice on upgrading my dies.

[cfrazier77]

I am wanting to upgrade my dies. I am currently using a Hornady seater, with micrometer stem, a Hornady neck die, and a Redding body die. All of this is for .308 Savage 12FTR. Here is what I am looking at, please set me straight. Which should I get, a Redding S neck die or a Redding competition neck die? Will I see a difference in the competition die? For a competition seating die, which is better Redding or Forster? I can't waist money right now, but I don't want to short myself now either.

Thanks in advance!!!!

i can speak to the seater die..both work about the same..the forster die micrometer is black on black..black hash marks on a black background..hard to see..the redding competition bushing neck sizer die is easy to use & works like a charm. everything i got from redding is qualtity

I just recently bought a new Forster 308 Seating die. The micrometer top is considerably lighter weight wise than my older ones and the numbering and hashmarks are much easier to read.
