I'm pretty new to the precision rifle shooting thang, so I've been going at it piecemeal as finances allow. I'm interested in one of the Redding "Bushing" size dies to go with the Forster Ultra Seater that I just got from Cabela's (but haven't used yet).
1) What's the difference between the "Competition" bushing neck size die and the "Type S" bushing neck size die (besides the micrometer on top)?
2) Does the "Type S" have the same "floating sleeve" that is supposed to hold the case in perfect alignment and center the neck in the bushing as the "Competition" die has?
3) Which one should I get?
Background: New to precision rifle shooting, using a Savage 10FP .308. Loading on a Dillon 550 (which came with the 3 die Dillon 308 set and a standard Redding neck size die when I bought it). Using that equipment, my best 3 shot 100yd group was .55" with 175gr SMK. Average groups are closer to 1".
Thanks! (and any additional advice appreciated)
