I'm about to order dies from Sinclair but ran into some issues..

I am looking for dies for 6XC and 6PPC

I found Forster dies for 6XC
http://www.sinclairintl.com/.aspx/pid=37563/sku=749-007-384/Product/Forster-Full-Length-and-Ultra-Seater-Set-6mm-XC

and Redding type S
http://www.sinclairintl.com/.aspx/pid=38261/avs|Manufacturer_1=REDDING/Product/Redding-Body-Dies-Category-III-Cartridges

so which should I take ? $254 vs $95


and for the ppc I got another issue.. I only want Wilson and there are 2 kinds, standard and oversized..
what is the difference between those two ?

they have the seater in both standard and oversized but the necksize is only available in oversized.

is there something else I need ?

those 2 calibers are new to me, I have all normal tools for reloading, Arbor and regular press, smartreloader powder dispenser/scale and mot other stuff.. it's just the caliber specific stuff I'm looking for.

shipping cost is high so I want to get all items in one shipment so go wild and show me what you would get if accuracy is the only thing that matters.
 
Regarding PPC dies.....the only way to go is a Harrells FLS die ~ $75 and a Wilson in-line seater ~ $50. Reason is that PPC chambers vary more than perhaps any other chambering and by sending Harrells 3 twice fired cases, they can match a sizer die to your specific chamber. Nothing is more frustrating than a die that sizes improperly and has you fighting to open the bolt upsetting your bags, stressing your recoil lugs, and stressing you because you can't get shots off in that same condition.
The Harrells is a bushing die that uses Redding or Wilson bushings......Need to know what size is the chamber neck and what powders you intend to use.
 
Harrells is the way to go, if available to you. To answer the Wilson oversize vs standard question I emailed that very question to Wilson and their response was to use standard unless you have a Sako then use oversize. You can find the standard neck sizer if you want it at Midway. Harrells best though. By all means get the Wilson seater. Ron...
