[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2785908, member: 69192"] Thank you for posting this. I am going to look into Whidden hydro forming dies. I have had nothing but issues with the Hornady hydro forming die. I even have Hornady's "Ben" in my contacts of my iPhone. I sent the die back to them after forming only like 14 cases, the plunger just seized up. I sent the die back to them and they returned it repaired. Well...10 more cases formed and again the same issue. I think that the plunger is too small and too long making is somewhat fragile. After the second time with an issue I was sent a new plunger and again the same issue. I also believe that the die itself is not hard enough which is causing the inside to the die where the plunger rides to burr up. I called Ben at Hornady and again and got a lot of nonsense from him. I find hydro forming to be a better option than COW, although both processes are time consuming. Although, retired and winter time does give me some time to spare. I'm going to look into Whidden dies. [/QUOTE]
