My 444 has a Lyman "66LA" on it, it had no aperture in it when I got it, I screwed a Williams "Twilight" in there, the front bead is quite tall?, I'm fairly certain it's been replaced.

Consistency in the operation of the press has a lot to do with it, I can get my 550 to drop 4064 at no greater variance than .2grn

Using an RCBS "PRIMER TRAY-2" it only takes about a minute and a half or so to load 100 primers? and that time(s) is included in the only time I ever paid any attention to rounds perhour, I got 470...

BiMart has been having some fairly good sales on ammo the last few weeks, I was at two of the stores today and both had AMPLE supply of ALL the loadings offered in "BLACK PACK" from Federal, I bet it...
