Precision rifle shooting/reloading... What dies should I have to get started?

[jdknotts1]

I've been reloading for almost 20yrs. Mostly just basic rifle and pistol using FL sizing and basic reloading. Getting started in precision shooting and would like to know what dies I should have for .308.

I'll be using a RCBS RockChucker and currently do not have any .308 dies. Should I go with a neck sizer? Which one? I think I'll need a FL sizer just to have but what else do I need?

I find just necksizing to be a waste of time. Get a shoulder bump gauge and adjust your dies correctly, and you'll have no issues loading for "Precision" with FL dies. Of course I find micrometer seaters a waste of money as well, but that is for a another discussion.
