With few exceptions I tend to agree. I wouldn’t cut and save to buy an alpha scope and I certainly would to buy an action, barrel, or quality reloading components. Saying all that I have zero regrets buying my ZCO.
My buddy has about 50k in various guitars but refuses to upgrade his scope. He shoots and competes with a DMR II. which is a good scope for the $800 he paid on closeout.
Why are you resting your turrets often enough for that to be the show stopper for you? Honest question, I might reset mine once per thousand rounds or so.
Raise the ram, screw the seating die down until it touches, lower the ram, screw it in a quarter of a turn more and lock it down.
Size a case and see what happens.
If you’ve already done this I apologize, I just didn’t see where you stated it.
A couple of nice 22 LR and a little lot testing goes a long way towards a rewarding range trip. No prep and you can stack the ammo pretty deep. 200-300 yard with a 22 is no joke.
This a new problem for me. For 26 years I worked a schedule where I had a couple days off during the week when my wife worked. I took my time for granted and would often load just in time to do something, I had the time. For a couple of months now I’ve been working weekdays and get home from...

According to your numbers my math says a type 1 will be jumping .020” at maximum mag length.
This is assuming the type two jumps .080” as you describe.
I guess I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying.
It appears someone needs to read the entire thread. It doesn’t appear to be a stock T3 Lite and he should expect more than he is getting from what he has.
It’s faster than the 4831sc but I also believe it is the correct powder for 140 class bullets in the .260.
I do use it in the CTR .260 and am rather heavy handed with it at 2677 in a 20” barrel.
