I am making some 6.5g from 7.62x39r.
This is my first go round with making different calibers....case forming.
I read quite a few articles that said you may need to neck turn some brass.
So far,...

I have to be closer than a bean field rifle.

I was doing the same, albeit a bit different.
I was gonna use a Lee Perfect Scale and high speed trickle to a certain point.

There is no way that I'd use an "automated" press if I were searching for sub minute of angle accuracy.
Too much slop and movement.

That and de-priming is the only reason I bought it. Works marvelously for both.
I wished they would expose the hammer on these "hammer" guns.
Oooops, I got this confusedd with another pistol.

my best mod was to to put an "adjustment" screw in the frame where the primer arm/lifter goes thru the frame. You can adjust your primer holder/lifter to be even with the primer feeder so it won't...
