A week ago, I got one of their de-capping dies for short cartridges & one small rifle primer pocket swaging die. They're pretty well made dies. The de-capper worked without a hiccup on a bunch of LC 5.56 NATO brass... punched out crimped primers with ease. Haven't swaged their pockets yet but I suspect the MA swaging die will do the job with equal ease. Set up & a trial run on a couple of cases was no sweat.
After looking at the Mighty Armory site & checking out reviews on some of their other sizing dies, all I saw were 5 star reviews. Everyone that has them thinks they're the best they've used.
What I'm wondering, how much shoulder set-back do you get with the 6 ARC FL die? They have some dies that will allow set-back or headspace (HS die) up to .005" but not for the 6 ARC. Looks like the way the HS dies work: With the die set all the way down on the shell-holder, the die will be at it's full .005" set-back. To get less set-back, you back out the die until you get the headspace you want.
I'm guessing, from what I saw in a review, their regular FL dies only have a set-back of .001". Don't know for sure if that's actual or if you can get a bit more set-back. I suppose chamber length would be a determining factor as well.
Don't know if I'll get one of their sizing dies. My Wilson dies are already set up right where I want 'em.
