[QUOTE="JAYgs8163, post: 2697168, member: 37460"] There is also mention by others that the Whidden dies overwork the brass. Alex tested all of this and his best determination was to modify the chamber ever so slightly. I don’t think he’d have invested the numerous hours, days, and money if the the fix was as simple as a die. You mentioned above that “guys are running 150-200 fps over published max loads” but there are so many combos out there of loads that there is no data. People will usually always push the limit. Anyways…. Not ariguing or criticizing just saying that the best possible fix IMO is the AW2 reamer and then there’s no question about what works for dies, they then all work. Also, MANY barrel makers and smiths have all switched to the modified reamer. [/QUOTE]
