Whidden dies?

There is only a certain extent to which one can reasonably split hairs-
Between Forster, Redding, Wilson and Whidden, the only way to answer that question is range time putting them to the test. I doubt you'll find much difference between all four however. More trigger time, less speculating/ inquiring will answer that question. A range review here on the forum might even be a good goal to work towards- compare the Forster to the Redding to the Whidden and see for yourself. You'll gain much more out of trying that than you will reading six different posters saying "I had good luck with Redding" "Forster has better runout" "Wilson has tighter tolerances". Lots of fingers moving and not much useful info. Testing the different types out yourself will help you understand and isolate which variables are controlled 'differently' by each type of die, and which variables matter compared to which don't. At the end of the day, the only thing reloading manages is the point in the barrel's vibration cycle that the bullet is released. There are more and less efficient ways of controlling the contributing factors. Chasing die brand names is not high on the priority list. You get out in knowledge what you put in in effort, not just how many dollars you throw at the dragon.
