22 Creedmoor- RCBS or Whidden reloading dies?

I have a Horizon Firearms Vandal X and with the $2/round price of the 22 Creedmoor ammo I figure I should just do custom loads. Trying to decide which dies are best.

RCBS claims that their Matchmaster Competition full length bushing sizer and micrometer seating dies are the most accurate on the market but I’ve heard good things about the Whidden dies. Does anyone have any experience with either or both of these full length bushing sizer and micrometer seating dies? $100 more for the Whidden dies is a small investment over time if there is a noticeable difference in consistency and accuracy, but with RCBS claiming to be the best on the market, and the bullet window on their seating die could be nice, I am having difficulty deciding.

I couldn’t tell you if one is more accurate than the other, or if it produces better ammo.

HOWEVER, Whidden dies are extremely nice. They are very easy to use, set, and adjust. It’s my favorite die. But it’s also super expensive, so I usually buy the RCBS.

Agree. I use RCBS or Redding dies.
