Whidden FL Die Cracked! 6.5 SAUM

[pinhead]

Working to load about 100 rounds of 6.5 SAUM. Sizing the brass with imperial wax as I always do. Was working 100 pcs, got through about 90 of them before I felt a weird stroke on my Co-Ax. Thought it was the brass itself, then when I finished with the last one and pulled the die, I noticed a substantial crack in the die. I’ll call Whidden tomorrow but has anyone had this happen with their sizing dies?

never even heard of this but as soon as you talk to whidden they will have a new die in the mail no worries there.

I’ve had the exact same thing happen to me,it was a RCBS though,I’m sure they will sort you out.

Called and spoke with Carrie Whidden this morning. She said it was very odd with this caliber and they will get 2-3 reports like this per year but with 338 LM only. She's sending a new die to me at no charge and I'm sending the cracked one back to them for inspection.
