I ordered a SAC Winchester Ackley Improved neck/shoulder bushing to go in my SAC Modular Winchester die. It came in and I immediately saw it was wrong and I would have to float the die .090” off the shell holder to get the proper dimensions on the shoulder. After a little research I found they a make a Winchester Ackley die for this. This is no longer a cheap swap over.

I hate it when perceived “cheap” projects get expensive

Of course the new die comes with a bushing, so the first one I bought was wasted money.

I could sink Jimmie Hoffa (assuming he wasn’t already dead) with all of my ‘extra’ dies.

I hate it when perceived “cheap” projects get expensive If it makes u feel better, yall aint alone. I had a bolt face bushed trying to shoot small primers. Ended up screwing up a bunch of things and eventually threw away the bolt head I had bushed, then new bolt head did not match the bolt body, then I had to replace some other bolt parts. Ended up costing me about $150 to fix what was never broken.
I'm a dude who likes long barrels!
