Hornady 6.5 creedmoor die sets???

[skeetlee]

I see that hornady has two different grades of reloading dies for the new 6.5 creedmoor. The standard series set is 32 bucks and the new dimension 2 die set id $150. Are the more expensive dies worth the extra monies? Thanks Lee

I have the standard New Dimension set and it works great. I got the micrometer adjustment for the seater for another $24 or so.

Didn't know they made a separate "matchgrade" set. But Creedmoor sports have them for like $178. Not sure what the difference is.

I'm looking in the Horaday catalog and it looks like the "Match-Grade" dies have an interchangeable neck size bushing and a free floating spindle (decapper). But in my catalog the full length match die is $51.53 verses $44.75 for the New Dimension die. I don't know why they are twice the price on the internet. Bushings are $21.15 each and only come in 4 sizes for the 6.5 - .284, .286, .288 and .290

is 0.288 the ideal diameter?
