Take ovenpaa's advice and get Forster. Hannam's Reloading are the UK importers.

Yes I've been looking at Forster and they seem to have good prices and good reviews.

Third in favour of Forster. I have the full length and seating die, then bought the redding neck sizing die with a 0.288 TiN bushing. I think the forster set was £99 and the redding die was £35. Otherwise you have the redding competition die set which is over £250 which is more than I wanted to pay.
You'll need a shell holder that fits a 308 Winchester case too.

I'll make a shell holder or two, that's no issue! I need to make some .223s for someone and a couple of .38 ones too!

The Lee shell holders are as cheap as chips.

So the application is in, both 6.5 and .223 applied for, one for mcqueens and sharandon other for f-class. Going for a straight pull for my mcqueens/sharandon rifle!
