The Hornady set is a good investment. I already have RCBS Precision Mics, so I'll stay with them.
As long as you have some means of confirming how far you bump the shoulder.

I made a big mistake long ago by going by RCBS's instructions on how to set up their size die. I ended up about 4-5 reloads later with a crack half way around the case head and the rest of the cases you could run a paper clip down inside the case and find out they too were on their way to separating. so, for that rifle manufacturer's instructions were poison. The Hornady Head Space gauge will tell yo how much the shoulder is being bumped back. I go no more than .002" and neck size only until it's necessary to FL size. and finally...

I use Redding S dies and only set the shoulder back .001. Some brass has 10 loadings.

I did the exact same thing almost 40 years ago..... Brass can be used for a looong time when we just bump the shoulder back a tad. Casey

Are the le wilson gauges designed to bump it back to the minimum?
