I'm happy with the redding bushing dies I own, but was looking at the Forster dies. Forster doesn't offer a bushing die for the Lapua. Is the Forster FL sizer and micro seater set a good set or will the extra $100 for the Redding bushing set be money well spent?

Re: Which 6.5x47L dies?
I do not know about the Foster dies. I have been using a set of Redding bushing 3 die now for over a year. The one that comes with neck sizer, body die, and micro-seater die. I have found they do quiet well and the seating die has not needed adjustment in over 1000 rounds run through it. I shopped around and found mine on e-bay new for $178 plus shipping. Like I said that was over a year ago.

Re: Which 6.5x47L dies?
The Forster set works very well. I used my buddies while I was waiting on my Redding set. I prefer the bushings to play around with for fine tuning the loads via neck tension. <span style="text-decoration: line-through">You can get in on the Redding group buy right now and the price gap wont be so bad</span> Sorry, I forgot they were category III dies and the price difference is 100 bucks. Just get the bushing FL sizing die and competition seater in a set and add a bushing or two. If you only get one bushing, make it the .289.
The set I'm refering to is number 36479 in the Redding catalog.
