[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2697245, member: 61747"] Well there are 6 whidden dies in my circle and all work just fine. I never said the dies where superior, it’s an option that is cheaper than buying your own reamer, or it used to be, which I also mentioned. It seems people get way more emotional about this then they should. As soon as I go against the grain of the aw2, people argue and want to discount my opinion and experience. It’s hard to not be a bit defensive when you’re told it won’t work blah blah and yet it sure the heck does. I get it but for my immediate circle No one is having issues with the whidden die. If the spec for the standard die cut was made just a bit tighter I’m willing to bet this thread wouldn’t even exist. I don’t know what a whidden cost today so maybe all that is a mute point and everyone should go to the smith and open the chamber. I assumed intellectual rights etc are part of the aw2, but I don’t know that. Maybe not. It’s not really a concern I suppose who makes money off their products or designs. You can spec your own die with anyone who makes a custom die too. Whidden just seemed to know exactly how to address the issue when I talked to him which built a lot confidence in the process. Maybe it was dumb luck, but with a handful of dies out there with this spec, it seems to be working for now. We also have Sherman who has an improved design that addresses the issue to I believe. I don’t know much about it but he seemed to get a lot of heat for it. [/QUOTE]
