OP, be prepared to spend a lot more than $1,000 just to get started. I love reloading because I can make better ammo cheaper, but I don’t want to spend hours to read 100rds. But to get started it’s not cheap. Could you get started under 1k, yes. But you’ll be loading very slowly and...

I am sort of embarrassed to show mine after how neat everyone else's is, but I know where things are, and it is organized for how my brain works. I just put in the second bench with 650. Finally have one setup for large and small primers, lot easier to reload and not be changing between them. I...

Ok, thank you. Most of it falls between 2.006-2.010. So I am guessing that's "good enough"? It is easy to get lost and not see the forest through the trees sometimes.

I trimmed a bunch of lapua 308win once fired brass. And going through case gauging and measuring case lengths. I am throwing everything that’s 2.007-.008 into the use bin, stuff linger in one shorter in another. My question is, how much of a difference does .001-.002 in length make on 308...

Maybe this has been stated, but have you tried cleaning and running a different lube? I run militec1 on my 1911s and ars and they have ran fine into -30f. Not that I spend A LOT of time shooting at that temp, but I have, and they worked fine with it.

I have a pst2 1-6 on a 14.5 carbine right now, but am curious how people like the mer by sig, the 1-10? I want to keep it under $1000 when I go to buy a new one. Or are their any other good options out there that will work. I have a 2-10, and thought of just putting a micro offset on it. But the...

Get a whidden free float tool head. They’re proven and high quality.

175gr smk. Ran a sized trim case through the expander and it expanded to .303.

Thank you everyone. I know the expensive options are best. But I’ve just dumped a bunch of cash for other stuff. I can’t justify even to myself a $1100 system, right now. Unfortunately I don’t have anyone around that I could try any of the dispensers mentioned. There is a scheels though with a...

I’m doing this with 308win though. I do load a lot of 223, but I was more specifically asking about the expander ball being enough and no m die for 308.

Are you just kissing the mouth get it straight again with the taper crimp? I’m not using a bullet feeder, I’m placing them by hand into the case at the seating station. What crimp die do you recommend?

My reloading room is a disaster, but I got a new bench built for a second 650 I got, used. It’s going to be set up for small primers. No more changing of primer tray!

What if I skip the m die and just run my Redding sizer die to only use the ball to expand it? And do that on the load toolhead. On a side note, could you get the trimmer to trim to exact length each time? I just did my first 200 cases through it and was between 2.006-2.008 was wanting .0008.

I have the rt1500 Dillon case trimmer coming, and a floating Whidden toolhead for 556 in the mail as well. I went back through this post to see what I could glean, and what I had forgotten in it. I saw a lot of talk about sd/es single stage vs progressive. These rounds were done on the 650. I...

For years I had been using a manual powder dispenser and beam scale. But I am over it and want something electronic, but I am not willing to spend the money of the v4 at. I don't shoot enough pr to justify that expense. I usually just shoot for fun out to 750yds or so, a few times a year. Most...

This happened several months ago while shooting a prairie dog. It is cfe223 24.1grs cci41 and 77gr smk. Bullet exited, I didn’t feel anything wrong with the shot. Bolt wouldn’t go into battery and was a little tough to get open. The shoulder part was stuck in the chamber, it ejected the body...

Well I fucking looked and didn’t see anything about britto v atf. So bite me. This is for everyone, not just saf, fpc and goa members.

So a ruling came down Weds that put a nationwide injunction on the pistol brace bullshit.
