I'd highly reccomend a drop through seater die! I think RCBS makes it.

I've got Hornady and Lee dies for 308. For whatever reason, the Lee seems to be "smoother" while decapping and sizing than the Hornady. Other than that, they both work fine.

Redding Dies are my favorite. The competition seating die makes dialing in a precise depth easy and repeatable.

I like the Lee RGB dies. They are really cheap and work great. If you get a stuck case all you need is a hammer.

I have Lee collet neck sizers that work great too.
All my stuff shoots plenty good to warrant spending big money on competition dies.

Start with some RCBS FL dies...eventually you'll want a neck only die and a Comp seater die....

You know you aint just gonna buy one set and be done lol

I've got the Lee die sets and they do fine for me.
