    Took the plunge!

    Re: Took the plunge! 19 rounds of 50gr Varmint Grenade, would have been 20 but one got jammed on accident. Oops, still learning. Thanks to all that helped!

    Took the plunge!

    Re: Took the plunge! Ahh it is all making more sense now. It's about the same price for three of those lock rings as the LNL conversion. I only have 3 dies as of right now, which set-up would I be better off with? Both sound about the same effort.

    Took the plunge!

    Re: Took the plunge! I thought you used the lock ring to lock the die in place, not as a reference to screw the die back in. Is that why it has flats on it, so you can loosen the assembly with out moving the lock ring and then put it back in and just snug it and not set it back up again? I...

    Took the plunge!

    Re: Took the plunge! The sizing die does and that's repeatable. It's my seating die that isn't since it makes no contact with the shell holder.

    Took the plunge!

    Re: Took the plunge! I'm new, so bear with me. It isn't a big deal for my Lee collet neck sizer die. That can be a little either way and I don't think it matters, if at all. But as far as my Redding seating die, the way it's set is bottom to the shell holder minus a turn. I would imagine it's...

    Took the plunge!

    Re: Took the plunge! Yea, I just didn't want to start with 26. I'll get a scale soon enough.

    Took the plunge!

    Re: Took the plunge! The feeling of accomplishment is awesome! I'm going to pick up the Hornady LNL conversion for my press. Setting the dies up is a pain, better to have to do it only once in a while. Would have got it already had I knew about it when I did my order.

    Took the plunge!

    Re: Took the plunge! First round hot off the press! 69gr SMK 21.9gr Varget Federal 1x Brass CCI 400 Can't wait to get a scale to start load development. All I can load right now is 21.9 or 26gr with my dippers. Figured 21.9 was a safe bet.

    Took the plunge!

    Re: Took the plunge! Which one do you recommend? I hear very good and very bad things about the lee and Lyman ones. The RCBS apparently used to be build better a few years back but according to reviews on line got a cheaper base just recently and doesn't hold zero well. Even the Redding got...

    Re: 700 5r 223 BTW that extractor issue is common. Good you got it fixed asap.

    Took the plunge!

    I just ordered my reloading set-up. The Lee Classic Loader set-up I have now sucks and I'm going to have to send it back again. I'm now tired of waiting, so I jumped head first into a press set-up. I couldn't afford much right now. Bought a Lee classic cast press because as I've read online if...

    Re: sps tactical Mine is metal, as is my friends. That's odd... They didn't slip you a 770 by mistake did they?

    Help with neck sizing die issues

    Re: Help with neck sizing die issues No, it says not to use lube. On a normal press style neck sizing die, do you use lube?

    Help with neck sizing die issues

    Re: Help with neck sizing die issues Thanks for the replies guys. I'm using the Lee classic loader, which does not use a press and as far as I know is not adjustable. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=420765 The instructions say to drive the case flush with the top of the...

    Help with neck sizing die issues

    Hi guys. I've been interested in reloading for a while and have been reading a bunch. After reading a bunch of good reviews on line about the Lee classic loader set up, I ordered one in .223. I wasn't worried about speed or anything and I figured that it was a low cost alternative for getting my...

    Adding a Magazine to Rem 700

    Re: Adding a Magazine to Rem 700 I have a Kwik Klip on my 30-06. Can't complain for the price! It's not surgeon or badger, but functions flawlessly on my rifle. I have both the 5 and 10 round mags. No complaints here.
