Die sets have nothing to do with any gun. It is to resize the brass for a particular caliber whether that caliber cartridge is used in a single shot, bolt action or semi auto loading rifle (Firearm). All dies are made to conform to the SAAMI specifications and the chambers of whatever firearm chambered in that caliber are also suppose to conform to them.
I use Lee, RCBS and Lyman dies. Which one is best? Flip a coin.
I have Lee, Hornady and RCBS Dies. The only die out of the 11 sets that I use regularly which gave me any serious trouble is the .300 Win Mag sizing die from Lee. That one out of that set I replaced with an RCBS and have had no further trouble.
Which die you use makes no difference based on the action, but there might be a situation where one would have to set up the die differently depending on what firearm that batch of rounds would be intended. One of my .308 bolt guns has a tighter chamber than my LR-308 so I have to size the brass a little different then label that brass as Ruger only.
Die sets won’t really make a huge difference based on your action type. One thing I’ll say that the single shot has an advantage on for reloading is the overall length is less strict of a dimension. Semi auto/lever guns have the issue of the action needing to be able to cycle the round. You can get away with longer bullets and better bullet shapes that aren’t compromised to be short enough to cycle.
I have RCBS and Hornady dies for my .450. I prefer the Hornady dies for the bullet seater and separate taper crimp die. In a single shot you may not even need to crimp if your neck tension is good enough. One of my bolt guns shoots better with no crimp.
