I am trying to decide which way to go for rifle dies. Forgive me for asking a similar question in a separate post but that post was specific to the CoAx. I know now that doesn't matter & just need general advice on rifle dies.
I read through the following thread:
Brand names for reloading dies... does it matter?

From Walkalong on the above thread:
I'm not interested in match grade accuracy - just good dies to have a long time. I'm tempted to duplicate his preferences & get the following dies.
1. Die Set 308 Small Base Sizer & 308 Win Seater Die (for 308 bolt & Garand)
2. Die Set 30-06 - Full Length Sizing Die & Seater Die (for 30-06 bolt & Garand)
* Forster does not have a small base FL & I can't figure out which RCBS is the right set.
3. Die Set 270 Win - Full Length Sizing Die & Seater Die
4. Die Set 243 Win - Full Length Sizing Die & Seater Die
One advantage of the Forster is that they come with the compatible lock rings. I know some of the other lock ring will work but it seems pretty easy.
Do these look o.k.? Any flaws in my thinking?
Thanks Much

These days, after years of buying some of everything, I look at RCBS first for standard pistol dies, and Forster first for standard FL rifle dies.
