While I don't advocate tumbling live ammo, the fact is that every manufacturer tumbles live ammo before it hits the box. I've tumbled live ammo for many years with no ill effects as have many or...

I use both the Dillon 600 Swager and a Weldon DB-18-90 degree countersink for quick jobs. The Dillon 600 works great but for quick jobs or touchups, the Weldon countersink attached to a cordless...

I not only cannot afford a 1050 but worse than that the efficiency of the thing. I'll just keep plodding along with my two 550's so I can afford the components that it takes to operate them. ...

I've used PRVI brass for my .223 for quite some time and get a whole lot of mileage out of it. I think it's fine brass, better than most.

Nothing wrong with W231/HP38. Easy to meter and clean.

I had two SDB's and two 550's and thought I'd do specific calibers on each one (sm and lg primer idea). Over time with big fingers and less patience, I ended up selling my two SDB's and going...

On another site I frequent there's a big discussion about Tula primers and the comments have been mixed. I have used their small rifle magnum primers for several years with very few FTF's in my AR's...

I've had a number of presses, some have come and some have gone but none have performed as flawlessly as my two Dillon RL550B's.
Having spent most of my working life in the aviation field, the...

Have nothing but praise for RCBS customer service. Then again, I'd have to say the same for Dillon and Hornady. We're fortunate to have some extraordinary folks/vendors for our beloved hobby. At...

First of all, +1 for Brian Enos. He's a great guy and he won't lead you in the wrong direction. Secondly, and it's just my slow and deliberate style I guess that caused me to ditch my two L-N-L's...

Geez Doc Stihl........you got more stuff than most shops in this area.

Would agree wholeheartedly. Same experiences other than having visited their facility..... yet.

Much ado about nothing regarding Dillon's customer service. Wasn't there so I can't judge but somehow making it a reflection of Dillon's customer service seems to be misplaced in my opinion.

Z....do you have heat in your mancave during the winter months? What about those round burn marks?

Dayum! Glad you're OK. Guess it's time for me to clean some primer tubes!

I'm surprised I haven't seen Giraud mentioned. I went through a Wilson trimmer with drill attachment and had a Forster for awhile but pretty much wore myself out trimming brass. Ended up selling...

We're fortunate to have receptive manufacturers, all of whom put out a useful and quality product. I've had red machines, orange machines, green machines and have, over the years, culled most...

"without lube I have a lot of brass flecks all over my press. Once I started lubing, the flecking went away."
Seems to me that your lube is simply masking a bigger problem. Wonder if your sizing...

I started with a RCBS Rockchucker IV and have had it for many years, eventually moving up to a couple Dillon 550's. The RCBS was a great learning tool and I still use it for many things. I had a...
