Default 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

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.

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.
