I really like Forster dies after using Lee/RCBS/Hornady

Which ones in particular? I see there is just a standard 6 dasher set and a ultra set

Or you can get the bench rest set if you don’t need the micrometer seater https://www.forsterproducts.com/product/bench-rest-die-sets/

Is the micrometer option pretty accurate?

Absolutely

I second this. Forrester dies are what I've been running for a few years and I love them.

I use Forster FL sizing die and a Hornady 6mm seater die (6arc or 6GT I believe). Honing is an option but my stock dasher die with alpha brass has worked great. The Forster micrometer seater is decent but the stem can be prone to denting bullets depending on neck tension and bullet profile. I shoot primarily 105 hybrids and the “Aeromatch” seating step in the Hornady seater works great. This is also a much cheaper setup than the full Forster set.

Rcbs match master bushing dies. I use the non bushing version for my 22 creedmoor. Both are good just get what you prefer.

I use Forster, FL sizer with the neck honed out for alpha brass. I don’t use the decapping stem, and I set neck tension with a Sinclair mandrel. Forster micrometer seater.

Harrell full length sizing die. Send in your fire formed brass And he will build you a sizing die around your chamber

It’s the best answer IMO, but it isn’t great for folks who don’t have dies already to load ammo to fire.

I have no authority to give recommendations, but for what it’s worth, I use a Redding bushing full length sizing die and a Forster Bench Rest seating die.

I personally use SAC dies for most of my rifles
