[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 1155274, member: 12"] several points 1. Most people's dies do not up real good with their chambers plus the NS only crowd whines about you must NS due to the expander helping pull the neck out. I have always said try to match the reamer with the dies and get rid of the expander. For example PTG standard reamers match up with Whidden dies and Redding dies as they both use PTG sizing reamers. I love Whidden dies and have several sets. 2. You can take a redding body die and convert it to FL size and bushings and have it custom honed for your chamber for $80 in 2-3 weeks. You cannot buy a custom die for that price anywhere or in that time span. Not everyone can do their own machining like you but this is a great way to get a perfect custom fitting die that will make 100% reliable rounds if everything else is right. [/QUOTE]
