So I have done some reloading for my 357's and my 257 Roberts, but now I have this CZ 527 American Varminter in 204, It is a great out of the box shooter. I need dies, I would like something that is made with a bit of precision, nothing super match grade, but quality. The rifle shoots very well with factory loads, best are 40 grain pills, Hornady V-max run half MOA when I do my part. And yesterday I went to the range to burn up the 32 grain Hornady V-max rounds I had left, and I had no problem holding 8-10 round groups sub-MOA, and It would throw one or two when clean. . . .
Regardless to say I am stoked about handloading for this gun:cool:
Sorry about the ramble, hopefully you guys cangive me some advise:eek:

I have over a hundred rounds of cleaned brass waiting to be revived. . .


BTW This gun has claimed many a groundhog and pigeons, the longest being a nice little groundhog sow at 285 yards per my rangefinder;)
 
I don't think anybody makes a bad set of dies these days so your options are limitless. I use a set of Redding dies and a set of Lee dies. They both load super-accurate ammo. I prefer to use Lee's neck sizing die with the Redding seating die. Anytime I can use a neck die I'm all over it because I hate having to lube cases.

My preferred load is BLC2 and 39g Sierra Blitzkings.
