Very fine dies....if you have the time to wait and the money. You can use the die body with different inserts for more than one caliber. Even though, the inserts cost more than a custom die. I have never used or seen a better made die.

If you are purchasing a reamer anyway, would it be possible to buy off the shelf dies, then have your reamer made to match your dies? That way you would not have to pay for both a custom reamer and custom dies...

If you are buying a custom reamer, I would assume ground to non-standard specs, would you be able to find a matching stock die??

Well a lot of times a reamer is ordered to get a specific throat length and neck diameter. I would think this could be handled by a stock die.

Ultimately the safest way to get a nice fit is to send fired cases to a die maker.. A reamer print is not always exactly what you get and furthermore if it was , that is not to say that the finished chamber job is a replica of the print. Sometimes things happen during the process.
One thing that does tell you what the finished dimension turns out to be is a fully fireformed case.

I'm in the process of building a new benchrest gun and thinking of going with custom dies. What are you're thoughts on witch dies. Been thinking on ordering a wilson blank and having my smith cut it with same reamer for the seater but didnt know if i should do the same for the neck or have whidden do them.You're thoughts are greatly appreciated
Thanks Richard

If your going to build a gun with a custom chamber.
Why wouldn't you get a chamber reamer made at the same time . And make your own dies . Larry
