so i have loaded about 150rnds of 30-06 so far. I have FL sized to this point due to mostly using once fired brass. I am getting to the point of having mostly fire formed brass from my gun and getting ready to start the cycle over again. As i see is i have 3 options
FL size, consistent case size, but works the brass, reduced brass life, more trimming. its what i am currently using.
Lee neck die, from what i understand is a very good die. The benefit i see is reduced trimming, and not working the brass as much, just generally longer brass life
rcbs x-die. is supposed to FL size but keep the neck from growing.
as far as expectations for what i am looking to get out of these dies and my gun this is primarily a hunting rifle, but I do enjoy target shooting regularly with it. I'm not expecting match accuracy, my goal is 1moa (it has a 1moa guarantee with match ammo). If I could get down to 1/2 to 3/4 MOA I would be thrilled.
any thoughts on these dies, or others that wont break the bank, under $50?
