Where's the beef?
Norma makes pretty sweet brass too. I've seen once-fired Norma brass for sale in .338LM, so that might be another option to consider.
Getting geared up for .338 Lapula Mag

I have some Redding dies.
These are a step (or two) up. The link I sent is to their bushing sizer (uses Redding bushings) that also full length sizes.
I originally bought just the micrometer seating die, but was so impressed, I bought the sizer also.
Considering all the hoops people jump through for precision rounds, the dies are a one time purchase.

I run Lapua brass for my .308
I saw a new company making brass up at the Great American Outdoors show.
Brass looked good, and they say it is more consistent than Lapua.

I've heard a few people on the firing lines that have issues with Peterson, just hear say since I haven't used them personally.

What issues?
The first is case capacity, but that's not a manf problem, it's a reloading problem. No fault of peterson.
Heard both variance from each piece of brass was pretty large and primer pockets not uniformed.
There are plenty of people using it though, so maybe early in production there was issues as I heard about this beginbing of last year.

Funny, because talking to them and reading their site, their claim to fame is more consistant case capacity. They do say, like Lapua brass, their case capacity is a bit less than other cases.
The primer pocket thing may be, according to their site, primer pocket expansion mostly occurs on the first firing, so they make their primer pockets a bit tight. So after first firing, they are right.
