280ai reloading dies

[Gobihawk]

My custom 280ai should be done in November. I have 2 boxes 155 TSs,1 box of Nolser 140 BTs, 1 box of 160ABs, and 50 Nosler brass. Looking forward to see what my 280ai likes. What's your favorite brand of reloading dies?

This is the best setup for nearly every cartridge:
1 - Redding full length body die
1 - Lee collet neck sizer
1 - Forster ultra micrometer seater
1 - Lee factory crimp die

I use that exact combo on several cartridges, and runout is as good or better as dies that I spent a LOT more money one.

Thanks for the replies. Where do you typically buy your dies at?

Precisionreloading.com usually has a lot of dies in stock. You can also look at mid south shooter supply.

I use somewhat the same combo with the majority of my calibers except I’m 50/50 on the ultra micrometer and the regular benchrest seating die (only difference between their function is the micrometer making adjustment easier) and I don’t use a crimp die on anything other than .35 Remington, .223 for my AR and handguns. I never crimp for my bolt guns.
