Reloading Die Set

Whidden Gunworks reloading dies are the best way to be sure you are getting the most out of your time at the reloading bench. If you want maximum precision for your favorite rounds – including many wildcat rounds – you need the tools we build into each one.

Both the Whidden Bushing Die and Whidden Standard Die are manufactured to tolerances that exceed most expectations. The Whidden Bushing Die allows the flexibility of neck tension should a different thickness in the neck of the brass occur from one manufacturer to another. The bushings also allow the shooter the opportunity to achieve the desired neck tension after neck turning of the brass. The bushings allow for .001” increments in neck tension in a range from .17 to .338 calibers.

For precise, consistent OAL handloads, the internals of our sizing die are designed to keep your rounds …. Round. Inside the die a floating sleeve system helps to improve concentricity – a must for repeatable precision. Our hand-polished sizer die has a shorter OAL for better shoulder bump-back, a smaller base, and tighter internal tolerances. All of our standard sizer dies include a shoulder datum collar (shoulder bump gauge) to measure shoulder bump and headspace. They also include a pin retainer should you chose to use your sizer without the expander. The wide knurling on the die and lock ring make small hand adjustments simple. The tolerances of the Whidden Standard Die give a repetitive measurement time after time. The Standard die comes complete with a die locking ring to allow the operator to secure the die at the preferred setting. Once the die is set, the locking ring is simply secured using an allen head machine set screw. This allows for a consistent setting from one loading to the next without the need for adjustment.

The micrometer adjustable seating die has flutes for precise hand adjustment at the loading bench. The depth increments are easily read and will stay that way for years of use.

Bullet Pointing Die System

A bullet pointing die is a die used to make a sharper point on a bullet. By doing this, we have made the bullet fly more efficiently resulting in less drop and wind drift.

Have you ever wondered why the hole in the front of the bullet is so big? Why can’t it be made more pointed? The solution to this lies in the bullet pointing die. Who can benefit from this? Pretty much every rifle shooter who shoots at longer ranges.

Once you have chosen your “Die Insert”, then select the “Caliber Sleeve” that you need and add it to your cart. The bullet pointing system comes with your choice of insert and a base. However, the caliber specific sleeves must be ordered separately. When you are finished making your selections, complete the checkout process and we'll have the die on it's way and you on the road to greater accuracy!

Congratulations!! Your one step away from experiencing this revolutionary product for yourself.
