SOLD/EXPIRED neck forming dies for wildcat

[harfman99]

working on a wildcat cartridge. I am looking for dies to size the neck of my cases down from .450 to .315 in .025 incraments. I have 500 cases to form. If anybody could help a guy out that would be great. If not does anybody know who builds a custom bushing die for this purpose.

Thanks
Chris

I'd get in touch with John Whidden www.whiddengunworks.net and have John build your die for you. His work is superlative and reasonable.

I've switched to Whidden bushing dies exclusively in the past year. No issues at all.

I also think Lee Precision builds cusrome dies but they won't be neck bushing dies.

The 2 things I don't care for with Whidden die sets is John's lock rings but thats a very minor issue easily correctable with a Hornady or Redding lock ring and his die boxes are an odd size so they don't stack with everyone else's die boxes. Neither are big detractions...

Having said that I don't use his micrometer head seater dies. I use the RCBS front load Competition micrometer seater die (borrowed from Pacific Gage, I believe). The RCBS has a floating bullet guide and it loads from the top, front, which I like, plus, one head covers just about all calibers, you just buy respective case holders.

Every die set John produces come with a bump gage included.

I was a bit aprehensive with my first set but got them anyway on Pierce Engineering's recommendation and I'm very happy with them.
