Price looks good for the sizer. For me a plan-jane seater would be plenty.


As usual just my $.02

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 either.
Otherwise nicely finished custom dies sound good at the prices listed.

RIP,

you could do us all here a big favor by just driving over for the day and taking the "nickel tour". Then you could report back here...

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. tu2

Dave Kiff of Pacific Tool and Gage recommended Whidden to me for my 404 EXP -- According to Dave, Whidden does exceptionally high quality work!

John Whidden, besides being one of the best longrange highpower shooters in the world, is a gentleman of the highest degree.

I just got a die set from Whidden for a 6.5 RSUAM I'm building, and my experience with John and his wife was exceptional. After calling and talking to them, I placed an order on-line. The dies arrived within 4 days and not only that they refunded $2.00 and some odd cents for an overcharge on shipping....what company out there would bother refunding that amount???? My take on this is that they both are very stand-up, honest individuals and they will have more of my business.


Shoot straight, shoot often.
