Help with 5.7 Dies, heads, and load

[cundiff5535]

Looking for someone who has experience reloading 5.7 ammo. I have a RCBS rockchucker that I am going to use as well as a shell plate that I was told is the best (a guy in the FN forums sold me it (I guess he makes them).

Since I have the shell plate and press, I need the following:

1. Dies
2. Powder
3. Projectiles


The load I am going to use will dictate the powder, and heads I am going to use. I prefer to use Win 231 powder (I have lots of it)... Anyone have any recommendations on heads, a load I can use with 231? If not, any suggestions on powder and heads?


I am also looking for folks with experience loading 5.7... I would like to get dies for loading. All my die sets are Dillon (I load almost everything on XL650's and 1050's)... So, I am going back a bit. Since Dillon doesnt offer dies in 5.7, can someone tell me who makes the best dies out there for 5.7? I have read mixed reviews on everything except for Lee dies. I have no experience with anything other than Dillon dies though. Anyone want to chime in and help me out here?

I've been using Lee sizing and bullet seating with very good results.
Before I received a custom shell plate for a Dillon 550b, sized the cases on a Lee Classic Cast single stage press. Trimmed the cases with a Lyman universal power case trimmer. First swaged on a Dillon 600 super swager, but found it easier to use a reamer to clean up the crimp. Using the 550 to drop the powder and seating the bullet.
I have only used HS6 @6grs. with Hornaday V-Max 40gr. bullet for a PS90 rifle.
No signs of over pressure or cycling issues. (Work up your own loads, safety first)
W231 from what I read is too fast burning.
What works for the rifle may not work for the pistol.
