Which Redding dies for my Savage LRPV 204??

[tarbabi]

I have the LRPV in 204 Ruger and am getting rid of my RCBS dies for it. The runout is horrendous. I have always full length resized and am ready to neck size only. My question is which Redding dies do I go with? My choices are:

1. 3 die set with the full length, neck sizer, and seater
2. 2 die set with neck sizer and seater
3. Type S series dies

Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

Man, you can't go wrong with the "S" type dies. You will ba able to control neck tension with the bushings. A big portion of shooters are now using the F/L bushing die and the Competition seater. You can back your sizing die away from the shellholder to size only a portion of the brass and still control the amount of sizing to the neck. This set-up works well for me on my Savage LRPV 22-250 and several other rifles as well. I hope this helps. Bill
