Dillon rifle dies come with a carbide expander ball. Dillon FL sizer is more like a bastard child of a FL and and Small Base Sizer Die.
The Forster charge is not $10 but rather $12 to hone a FL Die.
CUSTOM NECK HONING OF FORSTER FULL LENGTH SIZING or NECK SIZING DIE
We custom hone the inside neck diameter by using a diamond stoning process. We enlarge the inside diameter to your specification to prevent over-sizing of the case neck due to thick neck walls. You may require this service for multiple reasons: 1) If you use some brands of brass cases which have thicker neck walls. 2) If you do not intend to outside neck turn case necks that have thickened after repeated firings. Please specify desired inside neck diameter. Note: 1) No more than .008? stock removal from your existing die neck diameter is possible. 2) Honing is done in increments of one half thousandth of an inch (.0005?), meaning that your specified inside diameter must be either.XXX0? or .XXX5?.
$12.00 plus actual return shipping cost & insurance Please allow 1-3 weeks.

When forster did not have their bump die line up this was good value.
But, now with the bump die it more cost effective to buy a bushing for the same price rather than a dedicated die or two.
The Forster decapping rod had the expander ball higher than other brands do. I think this is an aid to minimizing runout.
Forster does not offer a wide range of cartridges. And, the good thing is the pricing structure of Forster is stable from main stream to odd ball.
The only gripe any one that I know of has ever bitched about is the paint on the Ultra Micrometer Seater die.
