Kratos is a tac driver with AA pells. The only negative i have had is the wood had no finish on it. That was easily fixed and I love it. on Flebay you can find barrel bands. I do recommend them!

Hornady has issues I think. When Hdy has a lifetime warranty, they dont mean it. My old Projector press with a lifetime warranty is out of warranty somehow. My LNL AP...

About a month ago I loaded some Eastwood copper penny PC boolits over some wc820 surplus but had one round that didn't quite get sized enough. I set it aside To take it apart...

East Wood copper penny.
Dry tumbles in about 30 seconds in a butter tub without BBs.
Mine has been 100% reliable and very accurate. Not a single malfunction. Loves cast and Jwords all the same.
Are these all the same frame? Thinking about the 327 fed mag in single 7 for small game. I want a small frame SA with some spunk, and it would be a good excuse to get a new mold too!:bigsmyl2:...
