    Who else is waiting on their custom build?

    Re: Who else is waiting on their custom build? ZL, I have only been handloading for about 2.5 yrs now, so I'm no expert. But I load for the same caliber group you listed exactly, on a Dillon XL650 machine. Can't beat it for an all-in-one machine to do mass production blaster ammo (.40, .45...

    Who else is waiting on their custom build?

    Re: Who else is waiting on their custom build? You're not in that boat alone. George's crew at GAP has my parts, AICS 1.5, M2008, and Huber Concepts trigger, waiting for assembly with a fluted Bartlien barrel chambered for .308 with a FTE brake. It's only been there for a month, but it...

    Swaged Primer Pockets- Help

    Re: Swaged Primer Pockets- Help I use the Dillon swagger. The neck reaming tool works, but removes material from around the top of the primer pocket and creates an small unsupported edge where the primer will flow in to, possibly mimicking presssure signs for load development. Long story...

    Re: LaRue Stealth Sniper Upper anyone? I bought a 16" very early on. I have since mounted the upper on one of their lowers and I have never been anything but completely impressed with it.

    Rifle Scopes USO +1

    Re: USO +1 My wait was right at 4 months for a SN-3 Tpal, but that's nothing to what I have to wait to get my build done at GAP. Oh well, I'm sure it will be well worth the wait. Good luck.

    primers everywhere!!

    Re: primers everywhere!! Except in these times, 37.00 per 1k is pretty tough to beat. I have to hand it to Powder Valley Inc., they have held the line on pricing. Others are charging a more for 210s and a LOT more for 210Ms. Good luck.

    .45 progressive press reccomendation?

    Re: .45 progressive press reccomendation? +1, what he said! My 650 Dillon eats .45ACP components like there's no tomorrow. It's not hard for me to knock out 1k in about 4 hrs without too much effort and I'm sure others are much faster. You can make quality ammo at a good pace on a 650. You'll...
