Match grade Dies
I am reloading for High Power.
I am currently using Hornady Custom dimension dies.
Would the Match resizing die and bushing make the ammo better for me?
Also what bushing should I use for .223 69 gr-75 gr bulletsDon't worry. Be Happy.

I use Redding bushing dies, I love them and its what my smith recommended to me. As for the size of the bushing take a loaded case and measure the neck then subtract .001-.002 depending on how much neck tension you are looking for. I can check when I get home what size I am running

I use the Forster dies personally. I doubt it makes much difference in high power. This isn't bench rest.

Those dies are probably fine and I would bet that there is little or no improvement you could make to the accuracy by getting a different sizer. You might improve your brass life though.
Most important thing is a seating die with some kind of floating sleeve that aligns the bullet and helps keep things straight. I believe the Hornady seater is like that.

Mike....if you're interested, I've got a set of rcbs NM dies (sizer and seater) for a single stage. It's the rcbs models with the bullet window and extra high shell holder (won't work on a progressive). I used to use them on my rockchucker for my 600 yard ammo. I'll bring them Sunday if you wanna check them out.
When it comes down to it, it's all just a matter of physics.

I use the Forster Bonanza dies. Have served me well from 200 yards out to 1000. Never saw any reason to change to bushing dies.

I appreciate it, but I'll stick with the ones I have
