I reduced the angle on a Lee collet die mandrel and added a radius to it and I can go up a couple of steps with these now. I am sure it would work for the Whelen the 30-06 might need an intermediary expansion step. Don't discount PPU brass either, it is a best buy in my opinion. With the full prep it gets darn close to Lapua both in toughness and uniformity. Lapua doesn't drill the primer holes anymore so it gets uniforming and lost a couple of points on the Alpha Brass scale for this.
