I'm pretty much a Redding diehard when it comes to my choice for precision dies; but I decided to give Whidden a try since brownells had a set of 6mm BR NORMA dies for sale. 6mm BR and BR Norma are not the same things, so I decided to give these a go. Naturally, when the dies got here they are labeled simply 6mm BR. However, they are also claimed to be shorter and more adjustable than other conventional dies, so maybe they will still work adequately. They include a nifty shoulder bump guage, though it would have been nice if they had also included a spare decapping pin which is the first thing I always break on a die. If these work out well I intend to have them make me a set of dies for 25 PRC.
In the instructions that came with them they mention their hydraulic dies--that is really intriguing and I wonder if anyone has used them and what they think of them.
