I have always just used Lee dies because they are inexpensive and serviceable for what I do. Lately I have been fooling with 6.5 Grendel and the accuracy potential of the cartridge is making me think about some gear upgrades. The most urgent is maybe a seating die. When I am seating bullets with the Lee seating die, I am getting OAL variations of 5 to 8 thousandths over a batch of 50 rounds. For a 2 or 3 MOA lever rifle or a hunting load that I want to be MOA-ish for big game, that seems to be fine. When I am chasing the smallest sub MOA groups, I am guessing it starts to matter. So a couple of questions given my lack of experience with closer tolerance stuff:
- Does 5 thousandths of seating depth variance really matter?
- I am looking at the Forster benchrest seating die as an upgrade. Any of you use these? Will it solve my problem?
