All good books
now i am about to pull the trigger on a press. The redding big boss 2. Now before i go with a die set i have a couple of questions and if it is answered in the last post, sorry, anyhow, i have been reading and watching videos and have heard two trains of thought. One is full length size every time. The other is neck only and body size every few firings or when starting to be hard to chamber. Im leaning toward every time. Does that add any fatigue to the metal to be sized more often?
Good choice on the press...the coax is supposed to be the best...at some point your going to have to fl size so why not just do it every time and keep things consistent...and no there is no proof that fl sizing fatigues brass just a lot of opinions
definitely think i want a case prep station for trimming etc. So i am trying to compare those right now as well as powder measure/scales like the charge master.
I use and le wilson trimmer and imho the best...lyman case prep express comes with all the tools...i only use mine to chamffer necks...scoot parker for a beam scale...gempro 250 for a digital...a lotta guys love the charge master i returned mine after 2 weeks
going to have to string this out at least a little but i want the good stuff. Just bought two new rifles this month and a new gun safe, and built a workbench and lights etc etc. I may have to sell a kidney. Lol
sell one of your kids like i did
one more question for now. Ill have millions. Comparators(sp) there are simple ones that go on a caliper and really cool ones that use bushings in a die with a dial. What direction should i go there? And brand suggestions. I have looked at the redding. I see where they are used to check neck set back but also seating depth? I know i will understand it more when i have it in my hands.
