reloading ? not beginer

[rich44]

Hello
I've been reloading for about 25yrs mostly for hunting and varmint rifles and for the last three years BPCR.
I've had some Varmint rifles that would go .5 at times but recently I've been getting into some varmint bench rest shooting and that Isn't good enough. I'm currently shooting a Savage LRPV in 22-250 and have a project rifle started for the custom varmint class.
I'm loading on a Rockchucker and mostly with regular RCBS dies although I do have some Forster BR dies on order I trim cases on a RCBS electric trimmer,thinking of a Wilson/Sinclair Ultimate trimmer) and weigh charges on a RCBS Chargemaster.
Right now the best I'm getting in my LRPV 22-250 is 1/4 to 3/8 groups with Hornady 52 A-max and Berger 52 HP. I've been thinking of upgrading my reloading equipment but am not sure what way to go.
Arbor press with Wilson hand dies or Forster CO-AX press with Forster or Redding Competition dies?
Thanks Rick

Arbor press and Wilson hand dies work for me, it's a little slow but the results are worth it.

Many guys are getting great results from the Redding competition dies on their standard presses. Under the evil influence of our local "hunter benchrest" crowd, I decided to try Wilson dies...

When I switched from standard RCBS dies on my Rockchucker to Wilson dies and a little Hart arbor press, I noticed an immediate increase in accuracy from my .308 Win match rifle and a bump up in my prone match scores. Most of the improvement seems to be from the in-line bullet seater, which does a really nice job of seating the bullet.

Sometimes I neck size the brass, and it "seems" to shoot a little tighter groups at long range, but when I full length size it on the good old Rockchucker, and seat the bullet with the Wilson dies - it shoots nearly as well and cycles through the action very nicely.

I like loading on the Wilson dies & arbor press so much that I do the same for my .25-06 hunting rifle.

Also - Wilson's trimmer is excellent! I use it for all my case trimming. Again, it's a little slow, or a lot slow compared to the whiz-bang production trimming machines, but it does very nice work.
