Standard Redding 3-Die or National Match?

[bryce01]

Shooting 30-06 SPRNG, bolt action, would the Redding National Match dies be a significant improvement in accuracy from 0-1000 yards.

I think the Redding NM dies are setup for the Garand (semi-auto), size brass a little smaller than standard dies. I would stick with the Comp. die set for a bolt-action.

The National Match die sets are the same as a FL Match die set but include a taper crimp die as well.

For a bolt gun I would recommend the Type-S Match set in either FL or neck. FL set includes a bushing-style sizing die and a comp seater. Neck set includes bushing neck die, comp seater, and a body die for setting shoulders back when need be.
