I need a die for my .222 Rem which one to buy? I have looked at Hornady, Lee and RCBS. What is recomended?

Unless your planning to squeeze every last bit of accuracy out of your rifle, it doesn't matter... Pick the one you like the looks of...

RCBS!

I have been buying Redding dies, exclusively, for the past few years. I really like them, and in some cases they are cheaper than RCBS. I have die inventory that's about 50/50, Redding vs. RCBS. I also have a set of Dillon .45 ACP dies, and a set of Lee .454 Casull dies. I won't buy Lee again, except for their factory crimp dies.

I am not sure, but I think hornady is the only one that might have different threads than the rest.

I have good luck with RCBS, but had back luck out of redding. I do like the competition redding dies however.

IMO, the very BEST dies I have used are Redding and Forster. I especially like the Forster Benchrest bullet seating die.

RCBS stuff is also quite good. Lyman, Hornady, and a number of older brands will work too. And even Lee dies are acceptable, especially if you are not loading thousands of rounds.

Recently, I have taken to buying dies off e-bay, especially when it's for loading a caliber that I need right now, but won't use much!

I am getting to prefer Hornady dies over most other. I have had no problem at all with Lee dies. I have more RCBS than anything else.

I like Forster. Good luclk

There are a lot of options and a number of successful companies out there making reloading dies. The reason these companies are successful is because they are making good Dies.

For a full-length die I think I would be Happy with Redding, Hornady, RCBS & Forester.

As mentioned above the Forster Benchrest bullet-seating die, is top notch. Redding makes a similar competition-seating die, which is similar to the Forester and looks nicer. Of course Redding wants a little more for their nicer looking, quality seating die than the Forester. I think either will do a great job.

Would anyone be able to compare Hornady’ S seating die to the forester? I have never handled the Hornady dies B4, although I have heard good things about their dies.
