The rounds will be used for long range shooting, out of a savage stealth. So it sounds like neck dies is the way to go.

Even when neck sizing for the same chamber, you'll eventually need to full length resize. After each firing, the brass grows a small amount so that it eventually will need to be full length resized. How long that will take no one can tell you; I've got some 22 Rem BR brass I've neck sized only and has been loaded 8 times, but some day I'll have to FL resize them. If you want top notch dies that will maximize your accuracy potential, I'd suggest getting Redding full length sizing dies w/ adjustable neck bushing (Type S die). In addition, I like to full length resize brand new brass prior to loading it.

I'd also suggest a micrometer seating die. Again, I'm partial to Redding. The micrometer die is more accurate than others and makes it easier to change bullet seating from one bullet to another.

Best quality brass is Lapua, although Norma is up there also. Yes, Lapua is expensive, but it's worth it.

Redding type s dies

They are best thing without getting into custom dies.
