Great way to go if you want to do load development at the range, especially if you are playing with seating depths. The design of the seating die gives the best opportunity for the bullet to be seated as straight into the mouth of the case as possible.

Sinclair has a wide variety of match grade shooting and loading items, including the Wilson dies:

And the die maker, L.E. Wilson: http://www.lewilson.com/
Many of you may already have a lot of experience with the Wilson inside/outside case de-burring tool. They were standard equipment with RCBS reloading kits for many years. Wilson has been in business since 1927, started by a WWI veteran. He couldn't buy loading equipment to meet his standards, so he started building his own, and winning some very prestigious rifle matches.
It's a different way of reloading, and is ONLY suitable for neck sizing the brass, doesn't have enough leverage for full length resizing.

Virtually every major supply house marketing hand loading equipment and/or components will have arbor presses and dies. Sinclair is one supplier I use because there is less hassle getting gear into Canada. Midway won't even talk to us Canadians. Natchez, Mid-South also have marketed these presses and dies in the past.
I absolutely love my Wilson dies for my 260. Turns out some very accurate and consistent rounds. I too enjoy loading indoors where it's nice and warm. I have an electronic Lyman powder scale that I use also. I just get to take over the kitchen table every once in awhile when I need to do some reloading. About the only step I do out in the garage now is trimming and chamferring and deburring.
FYI, fired cased from my rifle wouldn't fit all the way in my Wilson neck sizing die. I contacted them and they had me send them 3 fired cases and my dies back to them. They then custom bored the dies to fit my brass. If memory serves me correctly I think they only charged me return shipping. Quality product from a quality company!
