Are they worth the extra cost? I know it isn't going to change the Hornady set into a Redding quality die. Where can I actually order them from? Everwhere seems to be out of stock, except Hornady's website. Hornady may just not be listing it as out of stock though, so I'm not sure on that. |

The ability to make micrometer adjustments with a die that cost less than $50 bucks is pretty nifty, regardless of what brand name is on the die.
I have one that I use for my .223 set up and it's nice to have for those bulk bullets (in my case, the PRVI 69gr bullet from grafs) that aren't always the same length. The micrometer adjustments make it easy to seat a batch of bullets and then adjust the stem so that they fit to magazine length (I use 2.250 for my instance). One word of caution: The numbers are a bit hard to read. The engraving and the material of the die stem blend together when light shines on it. Not a huge deal but a tad bit annoying at times. I feel like a got my money and values worth for the combination. |

| I have several of the RCBS precision micrometer seating die sets. They're the shiz. Jump/jamb is different for maximum accuracy...for each individual rifle...even of the same caliber. These dies allow me to easily dial in the particular optimum seating depth for the rifle I'm loading for. Easy to change for the next rifle's optimum too. |
