    Which arbor press to buy?

    The main thing that’s wrong with it……he didn’t ask for it. You’re starting to make a habit of taking threads into some direction you want. Stop it.

    Brass Sizing Discussion

    Pretty sure he left out a zero. .2mm is about .008

    Too piggy back, I have a hydro press. In just a short week or two, I’ve been able to get the inside surface prepped in a way that is incredibly consistent. Runs about 35lbs peak force on the amp. When I put this same brass in a hydro….it barely registers a few pounds. Two weeks ago, I would...

    I hate to sound like I’m dancing around this. I’m really not. But the answer to this is quite long. A lot of “depends”. Also, what we know today, won’t be what we know even next week. As the amount of rounds the collective community will need to shoot to verify things…..is astronomical...

    You can’t customize on the Annie unless you have tools (expensive tools) to analyze the brass. Tempilac and looking for case to glow isn’t analyzing. No one is saying you can’t make good ammo without this stuff. No one is saying other stuff is bad equipment. But I’m not going to piss on you...

    Also no….the Annie that doesn’t analyze the brass isn’t “just as good” as the machine giving you customized annealing for your cartridge.

    Make your own thread and discuss it. Don’t bring it to threads that are highlighting when a company develops something new. Let’s say it turns out to be a flop (it won’t be), but it funds AMP to making something that is revolutionary…..that’s still a win for the community. And actually...

    Oh, I know. Why do you think guys like Cortina, Litz, Bynum, Sisk, Wheeler etc etc don’t really post on any forums anymore? They were all very active on at least one forum in the community.

    I had one and changed up to this. I’ll be switching back. And also IDOD with cnc for trimming as well.

    Also, I tried it without the pilot and with a .22 pilot. Just the weight of the brass and that it’s only supported at the rim….it chatters all over the place. So, all but impossible for it to operate without contact.

    Took about 5 min to figure it out. Just by it’s very nature, if something requires a pilot to work, it will always touch. Otherwise the pilot would not be needed (giruad, IDOD, etc don’t require a pilot). The minute the brass touches the pilot (almost always) it will always be touching.

    Here’s an example using the press to troubleshoot:

    Also, please let me know how we could already: Keep track of the total work done during seating of every round. Find the SD of total work. Then cull out every round not within 1 unit of SD from the average work done. This culls out 30% of your loaded ammo from a batch and keeps you inside a...

    Here are graphs from very small changes in brass prep that you can either barely or not feel with the best manual arbor press you could buy prior. They all do some different things on chrono and paper. But you’d never know why before you could measure this. I could literally write a term...

    If that were true, you wouldn’t be able to make better ammo at home than factory ammo. Also, you don’t know what “consistent” is until you’re able to measure it. This is another tool to advance our ability to measure and make decisions. You could make phone calls and get online without a smart...

    And before we get into the “I can do it already with xyz.” No, you can’t accurately or consistently feel and/or record data every ~ .2mm, let alone quantify or use what you think you can feel.

    That’s all any of our comparators do. It’s up to you to interpret the data and use it to make better and/or more consistent ammo.

    If only runout actually mattered. Fortunately, it doesn’t. And has nothing to do with this press either.

    Yep. It’s noticeable. However, noticeable is relative from person to person as well as the discipline you shoot. The more consistent your trace and numbers from round to round, the more consistent your chrono and groups are. I will likely refrain from posting a ton of data. As I’m tired of the...
