Not sure I would agree exclusively with that statement Spud. Wilson are undoubtedly very good however I think the current arbor presses on the market are just a tad too small for Wilson dies sets and I would hate to full length size with an Arbor press! I am convinced I can get comparable results with Forester micrometer dies as you can with Wilson. As an example last time I seated some bullets for Christel I was seeing less than .001” run out at the ogive/lands junction and superbly consistent neck tension. I am not convinced that Wilson could ever give me better.

Will look to the Forster dies, I got a neck die to do the new brass quickly, was cheap enough I won't worry too much, then get decent dies moving forward. Ta muchly folks.
