Reloading dies with finger adjustments

Post by veep » 21 Mar 2014, 1:05 pm

A mate of mine has RCBS reloading dies and I find setting them is a bit annoying as a small spanner and flat head are needed to adjust and set things tightly.

I've seen dies in reloading videos where the dies had large finger adjustable dials and stuff, no tools required for setting your seating height etc.

Can someone tell me some of these brands?

Thanks.

redding make dies with micrometer tops for seating, don't expect to get them for the same price as RCBS though

the tops are calibrated, seat a bullet, measure the length, adjust the die, done

Redding obviously...

Hornady dies too I'm pretty sure?

Redding are good.

I've used RCBS, Hornady, Lee and Redding dies and have stuck with the Redding.
