I call mine a Wheeler, level, level not level. For obvious reasons. I not longer use it.

There is another way…

I’ve just recieved my Lee APP press and like everyone I was surprise just how small they are. More of a press-ette than a press to be sure. After mucking around with it I’m wondering if you can bulge bust 9mm cases head first so I can feed it with my case feeder. I’m just too lazy to fill the...

This guy has. Maybe Adam needs to do a v4.

ADI 2206H is Hogdgon H4895. With 55's I normally use BM2 (Hodgdon Benchmark) but I used to get great results with the old 2206.

80’s & 90’s classic rock on YouTube. A little too loud!

I’ve always used a Lyman 1200 tumbler with walnut and was never that impressed until I started using polish in it with meths to help disperse it. Now I get nice clean cases in 2 hours and no wet cases to deal with.

This.... but I also run a mandrel to finalise neck size just prior to bullet seating.

Good move on the Lyman and a great price. Where I am they are $530 plus shipping. I’m pleased you’re buying bits n pieces rather than a kit for the reasons everyone else has already stated. One thing for sure is that as you get into this and learn more and your process and therefore the kit...

Fabbed up my version of an In-line Fab Ergo handle for my LNL AP Press.

My Forster Micro Seater does the same thing. The best way I’ve found to minimise it is to start the bullet into the case a wee bit then stop, lower the ram and rotate the case 180° then continue to fully seat. This reduces runout from 4, 5 or 6 thou down to 1 or 2. I always thought Forster were...

It seems the main con with the MS is POI change. So if it was mounted off the barrel wouldn’t the MS give you the best of both worlds?

I annealed about 20 primed cases once. Not one went off thank F. Realised later how lucky I was.

I’m not sure that’s right. If you do a load work up to find maximum pressure you’ll often find a good node below that at 98% of the max load. Not saying that’s the way to settle on a load but look at your results once load development is complete and see what the % is.

Unpacked my new Hornady LnL AP press and decided not to mount it in my current reloading space. The kitchen! Now to build that new bench once I can get the basement dry.
