I have a 6.5 prc that shoots lights out using Lapua brass. I'm wanting to get into reloading and wanting to know how much difference it would make if any if I tried ADG brass. Also what brand of dies should I buy ?
TIA
 
Any brass can matter, only testing can determine that. It might not be much, but absolute accuracy chased by benchrest shooters means even the same brass, forum a different lot can mean success or loss! Stick with the Lapua and never doubt the ability of your cases. I buy enough brass in one lot for each rifle I own to wear out a barrel. Lapua usually makes that requirement needing the least cases to do that without compromising accuracy or dependability.

If you are just getting into reloading, Then do it right! Buy the best, and don't doubt your equipment later. Plus make it a once and done purchase! Personally for big game loading. I'd buy Redding at the least, with a full length bushing die for sizing, their micro adjust seating die for bullet seating. Or if I wanted even more options to that starter setup, Id add inline wilson neck die for sizing my necks, and a Redding body die to bump my shoulders, only FL sizing as needed for smooth chambering if ever needed.

there are other die sets from Whidden and others at much higher prices that will work as well, maybee marginally better, and that's debatable.But with those two dies from Redding, you'll not have to wonder if your equipment is capable of assembling top quality round repeatably!
