Brand new to reloading. I'm planning to order a Lee Breech Lock Challenger kit. What is a good set of dies to order?
I had been watching the 8541 Tactical reloading series and I believe John recommended the 'Pacesetter" 3 die set from Lee(if I'm not mistaken), but they don't seem to make that set for 6.5 creedmoor. They do have a 4 die set. Is the 4 die set the same with an additional neck sizing die, or is there another difference? I plan to full length size the brass every time to start. It seems I remember John indicating some difference between the seating dies in those kits with reference to how they treat the neck, but I'm not sure and honestly my head is swimming a little bit from all the research I've been trying to do. Don't remember which video it was and now I'm just trying to hit the Easy Button.
Should I be looking at dies from another manufacturer? Actually, I could use advice for a bunch of ancillary equipment that I need such as; which budget calipers are worth buying and what is a good reloading manual for a newbie in my position? And anything else that I don't know-that I don't know.
Thanks
