I tried to buy a Harrell's and didn't have any fired brass, told them reamer that was used and was told they don't sell a die based off of a reamer, I replied I understood but needed a die to start with as I couldn't send fired brass until I could resize some. Told that was only way they sold dies.....................so I hung up and ordered a Whidden.
I just lightly tapped a bushing onto the neck of my 3 pieces of brass and sized just enough to hold a bullet. Did that three times and headed to the post office and mailed them to Harrels. They had the die back to me unbelievably fast!
Probably not over sizing the brass eitherI always used Redding bushing dies. I always thought they were really well made dies.
Until I got my Harrell's 6BRA die... which is like sizing butter by comparison. The internal finish of a Harrells must be ten times better.
Harrel's!! A year and a half ago, I was told to ask for a D3 Dasher die, .085 shortened. Ordered on a Monday, in my hands on Friday. Great people to deal with....

You were smarter than I was, but the Whidden works just fine.
