What dies do I need?

I have reloaded for over 20 years but just got into 1000 yard shooting not competitive just steel and paper. I just bought a 6.5 X284 from my gunsmith kind of he he needed to sell it and I have always wanted one king of thing. It has a no turn neck chamber and is going in a aics stock fo r 1000 yards. What dies should I buy? I have a forster press and an rcbs rockchucker press.

I would get a Forester bushing neck shoulder bump die, a Forester full length die, just in case, and there micrometer seating die, and a Redding body only die, assuming they both make them in that caliber, I haven't checked.
But with these dies, you can do anything, from just neck sizing, with or with out a shoulder bump, and with or with out a body bump. And a FL sizing if you should ever need it.
You have the best press, you might as well have the best dies. And you will get a nice snug fire formed case, with a long life.
Im sure other will make different recommendation, as there is more than one way to skin this cat.
