I've been reloading my whole life, but now I want to get into long-range shooting. Do I need special dies to make special ammo?

Specifically what discipline?
What caliber? Brass, Bullet, primer?
By using the best parts you will realize the special features that some Match dies & press with a Wilson case trimmer, primer pocket uniformer etc.
We loaded thousands of National Match 7.62 x51 ammo for 3 shooters over 20 years.
There is case prep that takes time & loading for a gas gun means you get 5 reloads before you toss them.
In a Bolt gun you can neck size only & shoot twice as long as a gas gun or more, depends who made the brass.

That is the first thing to know. Lots of variables.
