If you're new to reloading rifle cartridges, choosing the proper die set can be tricky-- particularly if you get some bad advice from folks who really don't know what they're talking about.  In order to help you make the right choice when buying equipment, lets take a look at Lee Precision's PaceSetter and Ultimate Rifle Die Sets, and break down the differences between them.
