    Do I need a small base die to save my brass? 6.5CM

    Another trick is to get a small base die in 260 or 270 for cheap so that it just sizes the base and nothing else. After you run it through a cheap ass small base 260 or 270 size the brass using the normal die.

    2 heavy bolt lifts and dirty cases

    try reshooting those cases, maybe it’s just isolated to those pieces of brass or shoot that load again. I never had luck with Starline, primers pockets were jacked up with a raised section around the primer hole and they said that’s normal. I had to cut out so much brass from just the center of...

    Are Whidden Dies Worth It?

    Whidden dies do not over size the brass vs rcbs or Redding which sizes the cases almost back to factory. Whidden does size the base a tad smaller than most dies just not to the extent of being a small base die. Quality is worth the $.

    Annealing machine.........

    I keep hearing in the videos that they changed the amp to a touch screen so it’s easier to replace, does that mean the screen or the buttons on the gen 2 breaks often?
