This way you can just neck size with the collet die and then when you need to bump the shoulder you have the F/L die in the Forster set. Personally, I am beginning to see and experience that Redding is over rated.
Where can I get just the collet die? I've looked all over the internet and can only find the set. Also how are the Hornady new dimension dies? I have a chance to get a new set for pretty cheap.

BBF, e-mail Lee and they will give you the single die part number. You may have to order it direct from them. That being said, I will give one more "thumbs-up" for Redding Type-S bushing die and Competition Seater or Wilsons' Micrometer Top seater. I have both and really like them.

As for Hornadays' New Dimension dies, the most common complaint seems to be frequent unhappiness with the Zip-Spindle. I don't use them, so really can't say.
