Ouch...that thing kicks
Hello,
I'm tooling up to reload for a 204 Ruger and would like to know if it is worth it to take it up a notch and get some competition dies instead of standard dies. The rifle will be a Savage Predator Max 1 and used for plinking/hunting purposes, but naturally I want to squeeze as much accuracy out of the thing as I can.
I typically use RCBS standard dies with more than acceptable results but decided to get the Redding full length Type S bushing die and competition seater for my 6.5 X 47 L, and man was I impressed! (particularly with the lack of run out on those long 6.5 bullets). Should I go for the Reddings for the 204 as well? If so, what bushing size? The RCBS Competition 2 die set also looks good for about $75 less. Any feedback on these options over the standard RCBS stuff would be appreciated.
Thanks,
