Me personally, if I can use a Lee Collet Die (aka-LCD) for the cartridge I am loading, I will.

I love the fact that the LCD requires no lube. It is freely cut inside so it comes nowhere near the shoulder. The LCD's are cut freely enough that you can use them on the Ackley Improved Versions of the case that the die is built for and still not touch the shoulder. They are inexpensive and easy to use. For me so far they have been consistent and load good ammo and seem to really extend the life of my brass. Some will argue that there are better dies out there and they are probably right, but they make ammo that shoots better than I can. Take all that FWIW.

I strive for MOA and if I get that or under in a hunting rifle, I'm pleased. LCD seem to get good reviews and definitely cheap enough to try! I like the concept behind the mandrel for neck tension.

Besides, I think most folks need to spend more time behind the trigger since that is going to have the greatest or worst impact of all on accuracy.

Thanks,
