Hornady Match FL Bushing dies - Any good?

[TurboTapin]

Gents,

Do any of you use the Hornady Match bushing dies? These seem to be a newer version of their "New dimension" dies. How would these compare to say Redding type s dies? Not many reviews on them.

Full length dies, not neck.

Thanks

I have many sets of Redding Type S, love them. I ordered a Hornady Match bushing die for a 6.5 PRC I am getting built, haven't received yet but I expect it to do the trick. They use same bushings as Redding, which is nice.

Pay attention below to the amount of neck runout with bushing dies. I prefer the Forster full length benchrest with its high mounted floating expander.

NOTE, the U.S. Military considers ammunition with .003 or less bullet runout to be match grade ammunition.

Concentricity of Forster Dies using existing expander and benchrest seating die.

Hmm wow... alright that was enlightening. I've never had bushing dies before, but need a new die set and figured I'd make the move. I'll second guess it for the time being, and also look into the Forster die you mentioned.

Thanks!
