I bought a set, but found that the sizer overworked the brass necks. And since I have a tight necked rifle, I needed to be able to control the neck tension and size. I sent the sizer die to http://www.6mmbr.com/catalog/item/1433308/892435.htm
and had it converted to use Redding bushings. The body/ shoulder dimensions of the die are right for my Shilen chambered barrel, so my basic problem was solved.
The Hornady bullet seater is a little sloppy for my taste, so I bought a Wilson hand seater die. Runout on loaded ammo runs .0015" or less most of the time. IMHO the biggest problem with this cartridge is the lousy quality of Rem 221 FB brass. The heads are soft so primers get loose quickly and the weight of cases can be ± 3gr. I've toyed with the idea of making brass from military 223 brass but have not done so yet.
