    Dillon 550B Owner Here - New to rifle reloading Questions.

    I only use my Dillon 550B to load rifle that are first fl sized, prepped, trimmed to length or new cases. Using a Dillon to fl size rifle cartridges flexes the cartridge plate in both directions that results in COAL variations on seater in my humble opinion.

    I am looking for feedback on a Gracey Trimmer/reamer ?

    The Gracey is less expensive, can preform a variety of tasks, and if you buy a Giraud trimmer blade and replace the the Gracey 2 piece one very easy to set up and each blade provides 3 cutting surfaces before replacement.

    Receivers only ?

    I saw a ad the other day that implied Remington was now selling receivers only. Can one buy a Winchester receiver by it's self ? I have always wanted a controlled round 30.06 Winchester/ M40A1 type rifle, without buying a new rifle and throwing most of it in a parts bin.

    Spotter: Angled vs Straight

    Let's talk about precision reloading

    Lots of good input here, every shooter needs to critique his load process, they vary by type of action, s/a or bolt, mag length limit on OAL, you can just make every round like a bench rest cartridge, but even that won't work in everything. You have to balance the the time and money with the...
