Bushing die choices

[gtl1946]

I'm going to be looking for some 6.5x47 Comp. bushing dies shortly and I'm down to two choices - Redding & Whidden . I do not care for RCBS and Forrester uses their own bushings which limits their versatility . Whidden is less expensive than Redding but also uses Redding bushings which is a plus . There's a significant difference in price but what about quality ?

Dont you worry one little bit about Whiddens die and their quality....
If you want the best neck, shoulder bushing dies in this world, check out Warner tools die.......
They are a bit pricy, but you sure get your moneys worth....

RCBS bushings are standard size like Wilson and Redding. I have one of their FL dies in 6PPC and it works well. Also, I have a friend that has one for a 7mm WSM that works very well.

Boyd , how old is the rcbs 6ppc die that you have?

 

[BoydAllen]

Maybe a year or a little more. Nice die, and the coated bushings aren't bad. It is a Gold Medal die.

No offence gentlemen but you can PM each other with your questions/answers . I explained that RCBS and Forrester were not choices and what about the quality of Whidden . Please stay on the toppic or PM each other.

Right. Good luck.
