I've used them in the past on rifles with custom chambers and for that they are well worth the money. For factory chambers however, I think you'd be well-served with a good quality FL die-spend your money on the Competition Seating Die with micrometer top.

Got a set for everything I load just for the accuracy. If I didn't want the bushings I'd go for the Forster comp FL, best fl die I've used without a bushing. Runout much better than anything else I've tried without a bushing. I have the Redding and Forster Micro seaters, save some money and get the Forster, only thing I like better on the Redding is it's easier to see the numbers but I set the OAL on my rounds at the ogave and dial it in pretty much without ever looking at the numbers anyway.

Sorry to little to late! Didn't notice hold old this post was!
