Reloading Dies

At some point, you have or you will spend the money for a high dollar target rifle. Why feed it ammo from a commercial, off-the-shelf die that may or may not yield optimum results for concentricity and brass life. WTC Dies are made from samples of your fired brass to full length size only .001 to .0015" on the body diameter and just enough on the necks to get 30, 40, or even 50 reloads from your brass (neck annealing required).

History & Development

About 8 years ago, I decided to try to improve on a commercial die I was using for my .308. There was enough room to remove the banana shape of the body and establish a closer tolerance of concentricity of the neck. Well, that got screwed up and had to be thrown away. I then bought a new one, only to find that it was worse than the one that I had just tossed. Having wasted my money twice, I decided to make my own and began cutting the first two of what you see here.

Concepts - This is what WTC Dies will give you:

1. Minimal brass sizing for flawless chambering and maximum case life.
2. Concentricities of .0005" or better from top to bottom.
3. Head space adjustment within the die via hardened and ground tool steel retainer rings.
4. One die body will accept die inserts for any caliber from 6mm to 30-06.
5. 2 part die insert construction - one for the body, one for the neck and shoulder.
