Idaho SharpshooterSR,
I have had the pleasure of visiting with Neill at the Super Shoot, and several phone conversations. There may be somebody,as RIP intimates, doing as good a job as Neill, but I do not think anybody I have ever heard of is better.
A nice thing about CPS; you can get the dies threaded or for an Arbor Press.
The micrometer seating stem is very precise, and repeatable. I have one set over 20 years old.
His powder measure is the best I have ever used.

I just realized:
The dies provided by Chey-Tac USA (also located in Nashville, Georgia) seem to have Whidden Gunworks characteristics all over them.

So I do have some experience with Whidden Gunworks dies afterall.
The micrometer seater works great on the .408 Chey-Tac.
I don't think I would have much use for that feature on wildcat dies.
Otherwise nicely finished custom dies sound good at the prices listed.

I don't know, but CheyTac USA stocks those dies, available off the shelf.
I guess sumbuddy will have to make a telephone call: (229) 686-1911
I think they will eventually make some 400 Bateleur dies (.408/.338 Lapua Magnum) if I ever get the reamer drawing from Dave Manson.

Bwana_500John Widden does excellent work, and he lives and breaths the shooting sports. I don't have any of his dies yet, but that is only because I have not needed to buy a new die in the last few years.
Last I heard, his lead time on custom dies is around 60-90 days.

Nashville, GA is 8 hrs, 33 mins from my home,
but only 2 hrs, 1 min from mother-in-law in Florida panhandle.
Sounds like next time I visit the in-laws I will disappear for a half-day.

416RigbyHunterMy RCBS Safari 3 die set in 505 Gibbs set me back $389 here in Australia!
