    High quailty rifle case trimmer. Suggestions?

    Hand operated case trimmers are made of metal, not rubber, so any inconsistency in trim length is due to the user, not the tool.

    Help me with a tool list to get my necks and mouths perfect with no runout.

    First, as a matter of perspective, I don't know that it's possible to make perfect case neck/mouths unless you cull those that aren't perfect. Individual cases vary too much for that and they harden a little with each successive use but, it IS possible to make them better. But making necks...

    The baffle does nothing if the powder level is below it.

    struggling to find data for .270. Please help!

    You're vastly over agonizing the issue, all reloading data is basically generic by powder type and bullet weight. Differences between the guns and case, powder and primer lots easily exceed any slight differences bullets may make.

    Who uses the Wilson Arbor Press System......

    You're agonizing over the wrong things, the press hardly matters and, contrary to what you may read, precision reloading doesn't come in a box of the 'right' tools! If that were true all top shooters would be using the same tools ... and they don't. Easily portable arbor presses came into...

    Let's talk about precision reloading

    There's no calibrated way to suggest what the average results of your interesting "precision reloading" list will accomplish. If any of it matters at all will be due to YOUR rig and YOUR loading and shooting skills. And averages are meaningless when applied to individuals; on average, all...

    How often should I change my tumbler media?

    Tumbling media rarely "wears out" but it does get a hard cake of dried, blackened metal polish all over it when too much polish has been added. I quite using polish decades ago, glitter is nothing but newbie eye candy anyway and there's no way I'm going to use anything containing ammonia on...

    6mm Rem w/ Hornady 105 Match BTHP Seating Depth

    There are no magic numbers. If your loaded ammo chambers and shoots well, the seating is fine. If not, experiment until it does.

    Best way to set OAL? Lee DL seating dies

    You must set your OAL with that center screw thingy onthe seater die. It isn't possible for an OAL to be "all over the map" nor is it possible to measure such a thing; say what you're talking about if you want a reasonable answer.

    6MM / .243 100GR HORNADY BTSP load development

    #4: "VELOCITIES (don't know why, but the FPS went DOWN with the deeper seating. Seems the more the case capacity was reduced, the velocity was reduced? Always seen or expected velocities / pressures go up when deeper seated with the same powder charge. This one has me scratching my head."...

    Triple beam scales for reloading

    Your best bet for a tripple beam in grains is from ebay, they get listed occasionally but tend to go costly. Most are Ohaus scales sold under the Lyman brand name. Personally, I think you're beating a dead horse. Multi-beam lab scales for reloaders used to be common, they were and remain...

    Excellent accuracy load for SCAR17

    Well, I would agree that you got one very good group out of your specific 16" SCAR17. But, with your other groups running around 1 1/2" I wonder how frequently you will see that .425" repeat itself.

    Micrometer Seater & Full Length Size Die Set

    You have some good comments and some half (or less) truths here. Bottom line first, all dies are, on average, quite good and usually produce ammo of better quality than most rigs or shooters can notice, the difference on targets between 'good' dies and the very best is often measurable in...

    What is difference in Redding 308 bushing die and 260 die?

    I don't care for bushing dies so I don't have any but you're over simplifying the case shoulder lengths of those cases.
