[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 966299, member: 39764"] In my view, depends on caliber entirely. 223's, toss, 308 (if not Lapua or Norma brass), toss. If 338 Lapua brass make do. What I do with my dies is yearly, I'll run a small cotton bob chucked in an air die grinder up the bore with very fine finishing compound on it and then clean carefully with Stoddard solvent and blow dry. My Whidden dies are all micro honed inside, look like a mirror inside. John Whidden manufactures some super dies at a price of course. All I reload with anymore. I use RCBS competition front load bullet seaters with appropriate cartridge holders but all sizing dies are Whidden. One nice thing about Whidden dies is John purposely makes the body short so it's easy to bump the shoulder back (without having to grind off the die base, something that was SOP for me prior to Whidden dies. He even supplies a bump gage with each die sold. [/QUOTE]
