    SAC And 419 Dies

    Thanks for the reply! In order to decap/resize/mandrel in one step it looks like I’d have to purchase the die ($300), a seperate decapping expander mandrel($90), and the corresponding collet ($25) - so $415 in total, correct? Any particular reason you went SAC over 419?

    SAC And 419 Dies

    Is SAC still the choice over the A419 M-Series?

    Beginner - Ideal Handloading Setup, Process, and Bullet-specific plan?

    I’d like to anneal, but the AMP MK II is a little out of my price range right now. Can you link the calipers you’d recommend? I stumbled across the ugly reloading primer - looks like a similar concept and more within my budget. Any thoughts on that...

    Beginner - Ideal Handloading Setup, Process, and Bullet-specific plan?

    Thanks, that’s really helpful - especially your example. I’ll probably get alpha brass, so I could probably reach out to them and get the neck wall thickness and find out what bushing/mandrel pairing based off of that. Thanks for the gunsmithing tip, too.

    Beginner - Ideal Handloading Setup, Process, and Bullet-specific plan?

    Thanks for the advice. So far, everyone has recommended the Ugly Reloading Comparator Set, so I went ahead and ordered that! I’ll remove the Case Length Gauge from the list and skip annealing for now. Any other advice on the SAC vs A419 dies? I’m probably going to go with one of those, just...

    Beginner - Ideal Handloading Setup, Process, and Bullet-specific plan?

    I have this post split into a few parts. 1: Equipment, 2: Process, 3: Bullet-specific loading questions. I’ve done a lot of research online, but have never reloaded before. Part 1: Equipment I am considering going this route for reloading. What do I have on this list I should take...

    New to reloading

    I’m in a similar spot as OP, so I’m hoping this question is beneficial to to him and I’m not just hijacking his post. A number of you recommended the SAC modular sizing die. I’ve looked into this and the A419 M series die ( think the A419 M Series would fit into OP’s Rock Chucker as it allows...

    Dry Tumbling - Lead exposure? Wet - Neck peening? Ultrasonic instead?

    This is what I’d read, but I’m not an expert by any means: https://www.reddit.com/r/reloading/s/RVEK2FETdX

    Dry Tumbling - Lead exposure? Wet - Neck peening? Ultrasonic instead?

    Getting into reloading and putting together my list. So far, I’ve learned everything is a rabbit hole - including cleaning brass! Dry Tumbling - This is the route I was planning on going, but am concerned about the amount of lead exposure. I have a 1yr old son, so I am very cautious of lead...

    Long Action Magazine Interchangeability

    Curious as well! Unfortunately, I emailed Terminus back in May and Joel responded saying: “We don’t have any plans to make a Long action 223 bolt.” This was in May, so not sure if anything has changed since then.

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    When choosing a suppressor and suppressor mounting system for either the M2 or your full rail version of the A2, do you have any advice on how to determine if a suppressor will have sufficient clearance to fit under the top rail “overhang” when used with factory 16” (covert) and 22” (M2, or...

    DT SRS is another option as well. The others mentioned seem more well-regarded, though.

    Firearms Desert Tech SRS A2 Covert - 18" 6.5 PRC Proof Carbon Fiber Barrel

    Can I purchase an M2 and then purchase a covert forend? Or how would that work? In this video, at about the 2min 30sec mark, it sounded like the M2 wouldn’t be compatible with A2 forends. That was around 2 years ago, though. I also emailed DT customer service to ask a similar question on got...
