“…Attached are pictures of Columbia’s “50 Cal.” roll die after approximately 2275 barrels, sweet!!!  We tried to keep the operators rolling on one side of the die but I can’t guarantee that, even then for 2275 barrels the VSS stamp would have been beat to crap & I can’t see a spec of wear on either images.  It ran from 9/8 to 9/14!

Way to show how it’s done Michigan!!!!  I’m betting more orders will be coming your way….”

Q: Why do CMT stamps have such a long lifespan as compared to other manufacturers?

A: This case is a perfect example of engraved dies verses EDM manufactured dies.
