I am sure that this has been asked here before but I would like to hear your opinions. What are the best reloading dies out there for the money?
Forster/Bonanza, Lee Collet, RCBS, other?
 
For Full length sizing I would say Forster or Redding are my two top choices.Neck sizing I like the Lee Collet.
 
So if you are looking to buy neck sizing, full length, and seating dies; what is the best way to go about it? Buy Lee Collet neck sizing die set and then purchase a full length die from redding?
Just using those as examples but you get the idea. What is the best way to get all three dies?
(new to reloading, be patient with me)

They are not that much more compared to RCBS or others.

Plus they dont have that arm ripping screw sticking out of the top of them like the RCBS does.

Quit cryin' and suck it up. My last set of Reddings I purchased was in 17 Ackley Hornet, price those and tell me what your looking at is expensive!!

What are you looking for? Caliber wise?
 
Thanks for the help furhunter. I am not afraid of the money. I just like to make sure I get the right stuff the first time. (try to anyways)
Another question for you though. When I look on the deluxe die sets. I don't see some of the calibers I am looking for; 223, 22-250, 220 swift. Am I looking in the wrong spot???
 
What are the best tools to buy when building a barn? I don't mean to be a wise*** but so much depends on the user of the tools/dies & the methods employed. I have mostly RCBS & Lee & get by fine.

To clarify I also mean for the average hunter/shooter, not so much the competition shooter.

I dont mean to be a wise*** but next time you see a crew framing a house, stop in and ask them if their framing hammers are Vaughan's or other professional type tools or are they a 5 dollar club out of the bargain bin at harbor freight?

There is more to reloading than "getting by"
