I have reloaded pistol now for about a year and a half and am hoping to begin reloading .223 Remington this year, using a Forster CoAx press. My question regards dies.
I like my Redding dies. They show a set with a 1- full body die, 2- a neck sizing die, and 3- a seater. I know I need to full length size, but do body dies also set neck tension, or would this set be used to 1- full lenght size, 2- size again for neck tension 3- seat the bullet?
Both the Neck sizer and seater are micrometer type dies. I have some Redding seating dies for pistol I like and can use to set very precise depths. Once I measure the chamber of my AR these would be great to dial in the OAL.
I have a Sierra tape on reloading, but it doesn't cover this.
Thanks for any advice
