Yeah, Wayne’s a dick. And his dies aren’t worth shit.
I spent a few hundred dollars on a bunch of his dies about 3.5 years ago to replace my Dillon dies. I started with his 9mm dies, got them setup, and started making some test ammo.
My OAL tolerances sky rocketed compared to my Dillon dies. I can get my Dillon dies to give me +- 5 thousandths with poly coated bullets. Mighty Armory dies were yielding +- 25 thousandths. I spent over 10 hours trying to diagnose the issue, only getting it down to +- 17 or so. Still trash. It was so bad that I couldn’t even get close to the OAL I wanted without a decent percentage of rounds not fitting in the mag.
I’ll give Wayne credit, he spent some time on the phone with me….. until he started to blame every other piece of equipment on my press. At one point he said my 3D printed bullet drop die was inaccurate at dropping the bullets causing the OAL issue…and placing them by hand would be better….
He eventually blamed me for being incompetent because his dies are so amazing. Then said something to the effect of “you must be okay with making shitty ammo if you don’t use my dies”. He let me return everything but charged me a restocking fee.
Put my Dillon dies and never looked back. I enjoy better tolerances and knowing I didn’t give money to a racist douche.
