Well, if you friend really recommended lee dies, then I will recommend you stay away from his advise. Lee rifle dies are junk, and seater dies worse. Redding competition dies are by far the finest dies I have seen. Redding bushing dies are great, Bad news is a set can run you up to 100 dollars. So needless to say, I only got a few redding sets.

I alway have ok luck with RCBS.
