Thread: How important is die quality?

I've been trying to find a die set for my 7mm-08 since I can use a friends reloading setup if I have them but they seem pretty hard to source.

Reloaders have the Lee Pacesetter 3 die set for $60, which seems ok except for it not having a neck sizing die but when I talked to the guy at the local gun shop he told me Lee dies are rubbish and that they don't seat bullets straight, then promptly gave me a quote for some $300 match grade ones that he would import.

Is the quality really that important?

My rifle shoots some factory ammo at half moa and I'd be happy if I could match that with the reloads.
