I have had good luck with the redding die set. Midway and Graf and Sons sell them.

I've not tried the RCBS "whisper" dies. Typically RCBS dies will be my last choice. They make great, reloading "everything else" and support the shooting sports but, I don't like their dies.

+1 for Redding

I've been using 300-221 dies from CH4D and they work great. We've loaded ammo to be used in Model 1 sales uppers, ssk's stuff and the rifles I've built using a chamber reamer from Dave Manson Reamers. No issues with inside or outside dimensions being off or headspace problems. The only problem I've had at all is with the trim die which is so short that it takes a special setup to fit it to the press. Thats the case with all the 300 trim dies though since the case is so short....
I've also heard good things about the Redding dies and use them for other stuff with good result. I have no complaints with any of my RCBS dies but haven't used the 300 set so no info there. I think you will do well whichever way you go, they are all quality tools.

do you think the Reddings are better than the Hornady dies that come with the JD Jones Guns?

I have a friend who has several JD Jones guns and he gave me a set of the hornady custom dies that came with one of his guns.

The Hornady dies are excellent and made to original specs. I was lucky enought to pick up a used set in good condition and I'm very happy with them. I think they are a few thousands of an inch tighter than some other dies and help minimize the chambering issues with the various barrels made in this caliber. Just my opinion.
