Favorite brand of dies?

[AFK]

I use Hornady dies for loading FMJ pistol, with the exception of 1 LEE FCD for .380 Auto. For cast bullets I use Hornady for all stations except for the expander. I use the Lyman M dies for that.

I currently own RCBS, Lee, Hornady, and Redding.

I mostly use Redding for high pressure bottleneck rifle cartridges, but my first ones were RCBS. All of my handgun cartridge dies are Lee, as are the .30-30 and .32 WS. I do have one Hornady 8x57 that was virtually gifted to me from a fellow who no longer had a need.

I find Lee and Redding the easiest to use; I do not enjoy having to use wrenches and screwdrivers to adjust the RCBS... my best use of them is for constant application and no further adjusting: secure the lock-rings and go from there.

I use Lee have about a dozen sets and have never worn one out in a life time of use.

I like Lee and Lyman equally. Hard to beat Lee for the price.

How much does Forster charge to hone out the neck and return the die?
