+1 I love my RCBS Universal Hand Priming Tool. I thought i would have problems with cases wanting to pop out of the jaws but have had nothing but good luck with it so far, although I do think that...
Here is my opinion in a nutshell.
I started with a Lee Reloader single stage press, Lyman 500 balance beam scale (which i still have and use often), RCBS powder funnel, RCBS loading block, Lyman...

I just ordered 2 o rings and 2 pressure screws from Lyman for $20 shipped.With the price of gas the way it is i figured i saved money and aggravation.I saw pressure screws selling on ebay for between...

This is blasphemy,how do you forget you have a 550? My 650 seems to have a gravitational pull that i cannot escape from, and by the way the 650 is also excellent to load 9mm on if you can put it on...

I just had the same problem with a run of 270 Win. brass. I found out they were "a little wobbly" when i started to trim them. I had been using a set of used RCBS dies that i bought here and did not...

With a bench so small i would definitely consider a Pat Marlins RockDock system setup.

Brasso has ammonia in it, 2-3% by volume. It will make your brass shiny but will also make it more brittle over time.

I went to the hardware store after the large rod bent and bought a long bolt with the same thread pitch (1/4 x 28 x 4" I believe.) and cut the head off,dressed the end and have not had a problem...

Hi Jason.I'm not exactly sure of what the perceived problem is.Are you having leading problems,accuracy problems or both?
If your pulled boolits mic @ .356 & .357 and your barrel slugs @ .355,...

If you would like to shoot your newly formed cases more than 1 or 2 times it would be advisable to anneal before and after forming,otherwise the brass will become work hardened and fail prematurely....

The 30 30 is .308 diameter and the 7mm is .284. If the dies are the same brand and the 30 30 will fit in the 7mm die body,I see no reason why it wouldn't work.Might have to do a little fitting but...

Too late , i already bought one at Cabelas and i'm thinking about going and getting the .30 cal too just so as i don't have to readjust it every time i change calibers. And i agree that it's a HUGE...

Jump on it, they don't make stuff like that anymore.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Well Jeff, I guess the bottom line here is preference.If i had a turret press i would loan it to you for a week so you could make a decision based on experience. I do not dislike turret presses and...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
What is it i don't believe in? There is no regular single stage that is faster than a turret but we're not talking about a rockchucker now are we,no we're talking about a Forster Coax press.Google...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I replaced the center pin with a long grade 5 bolt of the same diameter and thread pitch, just cut the head off so the rod was the same length as the original (this was the large diameter rod by the...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Stick with your Coax Jeff, with the universal shell holder and slip-in,slip-out die changes it is just as fast or faster than a turret. IMO
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I've had my eye on one for some time now. I called and e mailed RCBS wanting to know the thread pitch but could not get a straight answer, so i decided to answer my own question.
These are on sale...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I have the old model and with all this talk of peckers and such i think i will stick to the old style. Haven't had a primer detonation yet,on my Dillon and certainly not on my Lee hand priming tool.

I have a Lee Load All in 16 ga.The plastic base is not all that sturdy but it loads decent ammo and the price was right. I'm not a big shotgunner and really don't know a whole lot about other shotgun...
