[QUOTE="1911user, post: 1822488, member: 57493"] I would buy the Hornady full-length die set. The expander on the full-length sizer is elliptical in shape and will stretch the brass/neck less than other shapes. It will also work for reforming brass from other calibers much better than other options. The seating die is a "dead-length" seating die. It aligns/centers the bullet before pressing it into the case neck. If you also want a neck-sizing-only die get the Lee collet sizing die. Lube the area inside the die where the collet fingers are forced together using a decent high-pressure grease; lithium is good. The advantage to this die is no case lube needed and the case neck is pressed into a collet centered by the primer hole of the case being sized. Are you using a progressive reloading press? If so, post the model and I'll give you a die setup/arrangement that will load match accurate ammo on a progressive press in 2 passes including power trimming. [/QUOTE]
