Custom dies with my resizer reamer
[.
If Whidden's quality is there, I'll certainly consider them.[/quote] John Whidden, does fine quality work, If you google him up you will find he shoots and wins many benchrest shoots, so he knows what he is doing and I am sure makes sure his products are top notch. Give him and/or his company a call and discuss it with him/them. Bill K Last edited by Bill K; 11-23-2018 at 04:30 AM. |

Well I stand corrected then. Whidden makes good dies. I'm a couple weeks out on another one from them. They do not use a reamer to make the dies. They bore them with a cnc machine.

FWIW, we've made about 300 die sets for the Tromix .375 SOCOM.
We use 12L14 with a resizer reamer. The dies are then carborized for hardness. If you try and size a case without hardening, the die scratches the living crap out of the brass. Tony Rumore Tromix |

This is an early version of a wildcat I made for shooting comps. These cases have been full length sized over 30 times in a die made out of a grade 5 bolt cut with the resize reamer:
I do use lube and I don't pick up cases out of the sand and size them directly. Sure hardened dies would be nice, but I don't think it's a requirement. |
