Looking for best value for the price on reloading dies for 300 Blackout. Redding only has match grade dies and they want like $280.
Not sure what you are looking for or where you are at but I see a bunch of lower priced options with my google search.
How about RCBS Matchmaker?
I have used the Lee Challenger Breech Lock Single Stage Press with Lee Pacesetter 3-Die Sets since 1993. I use Lee Dies for pretty much all my calibers ( 9mm through 7MM PRC) The only exception is the Hornady 6mm ARC - I have Hornady dies for this caliber. The 300 AAC set was $40 and the system works very well. The Lee Single Stage Press is specifically manual so you do reload one bullet at a time but you get very good consistency.
A few other things to go with the dies are tools to measure the overall length, a case trimmer, and a primer pocket cleaner. More importantly, an accurate scale to get consistent weight of each load is paramount to successful reloading.
There are probably reasons to go with other brands like Lyman, RCBS, or Dillon but, I have had great success with the LEE products.
I hope this helps.
Thanks everyone. I’ll look at all of your suggestions.
