To all .458 SOCOM reloaders:

OK, I am finally going to start reloading .458 SOCOM, it is way too expensive to buy and even harder to find.

I have been reading reviews on several brands of die sets, and here is what I have come up with as far as quality and ease of use.

Hornady - More hit than miss. ( 75% good reviews vs 25% bad.)

Lee - More miss than hit. ( 60% bad vs 40% good.)

Redding - Very few reviews. ( Not enough to figure out a trend. )

So here is my question,
What die set have you used, and or using ? And what is your opinion on the set you are using ?

I don't reload SOCOM, but going with my experience on the quality of these manufacturers, I'd pay the premium and get the Redding set if you can find it.

458 SOCOM is to difficult to load and factory ammo is near impossible to find...I'd be willing to help you out by taking that 458 upper off your hands for you [LOL]

I went and ordered a Redding from MidwayUSA.
