Which 25-06 AI dies?

[JASON_SCHROEDER]

What dies should I look at getting for a 25-06AI? I don't want to break the bank on them if I can help it. I am planning on building one this winter and want to get started on parts. Also looking for any load data for it with 100gr Nosler Partitions. My go to powder in my standard 25-06 (22" barrel) has been IMR 4831. Tried Reloader 22 and had mixed results.
Thanks,
Jason

I use a Lee Collet die (the std 25-06 works for AI's) for neck sizing. A Redding body die for about every 3 reloading, and a RCBS Competition Seating die(again, the std works for AI).

I ended up with this set by catching different pieces on sale at Midway.

A standard 25-06 AI set from Redding or RCBS will work fine.

Much more important is to make sure that you get at least a 26" barrel for your AI. Anything less and you won't see it's full potential.

Thanks! I am planning on a 26" stainless heavy sporter, but haven't deicided on the brand yet. I'm leaning towards Shilen or Benchmark now.

Try E R Shaw barrel 26" varmit I have bought 3 of them and all were good shooters.
don't pass up on the 87 grain bullet at 3920 fps in it.
