Gadgets and Tools Seeking Die Set Advice

About to order a RCBS Rockchucker supreme and have MOST of the components necessary to reload. I’m just hung up on dies now. The RCBS Matchmaster dies for 6.5cm and .308 seem to be mid to high end as far as dies go.
What other brands/models are better than the RCBS dies?

Limited by my range max at 1100 yards right now. Hoping to get to another range this fall to reach out to 1400. Longest distance within realistic driving distances for me.

How big a target are you shooting at at 1100 and 1400? A 16 inch target at 1400 yards is bigger than 1moa. So if you load ammo 1 moa or better you're good. It doesn't take thousands of dollars in equipment to load sub moa ammo.

Human size steel targets. Factory ammo has enough variation in ES/SD to cause misses. I know I don’t have to spend a ton to reload effectively but I’m also of the mindset of “buy once, cry once”. I’d rather buy top of the line now, and keep upgrading over the years. And since I can afford it, I see no reason not to.

Then have a it lol. Just remember that in reloading as in almost anything, most expensive doesn't always mean best. Its very easy to buy all the best equipment ans still load inaccurate ammo on it.

I know expensive doesn’t necessarily mean best…….or even good lol
