Does any one invest in there for there bottle neck rifle loads?

I bought a Wilson die some years back in 6.5 for my 6.5/06. Couple years back I bought a 243 mandrel for my 6mm Rem Both rifles enjoy very good accuracy.

I didnt realize right off but my RCBS 25/45 Die set that Sharps supplied me also included a mandrel die. But they billed it as case forming.

Anyhow. I have had a few requests on information about there use and application. I referred the folks to Ultimate Reloader & Desert Dog's videos on uTube. Both do good informative videos on the topic. Well I ordered the remaining mandrels san 338 as I have nothing 338 calibers. ( im a 35 guy) Regrettably, Wilson does not offer 35's at all.

I made up a video of myown. I choose 6.5 because of popularity of the 6.5 Creed. But ironically I couldn't show some Of the negatives I referred to as my dies was custom So Im assuming little better then average.
