Re: Good Dial Caliper Many would argue Browne and Sharp (Switzerland) is the best dial caliper and Mitutoyo (Japan) is the best digital caliper. Both are available at amazon.com. The Mitutoyo 8" digital caliper which measures to .0005" is the one I have been using for about a year. It has...

Re: Measuring Group Size In Official Competitions do "group size" and "circle size" have the same meaning? Which process is used to determine the winner of the competition-variations on the center to center measurement most of us use or the triangulation method presented so professionally by...

Re: Measuring Group Size For years I have been measuring group size the same way suggested by BuzzBoss. For ME, this way is easiest and just as accurate (if not more so)than center to center, outside to inside or outside to outside minus the caliber or inside to inside plus the caliber.

Re: inch/Lb torque wrench blasst, I recently purchased Wheeler Engineering's "Fat Wrench" and have used it a couple of times. It has performed flawlessly. The newer versions of this fine tool comes with a certification showing the actual torque values at 3-4 positions. The certification with...

Re: question for a press biggenius29, Your definition of "runout" re-kindled my memory of the word's meaning in reloading. Your description of how it is used to measure concentricity is very logical. Many thanks.

Re: question for a press

Re: question for a press gijoetx, I use the Co-Ax, Lee Classic Cast Breech Lock, and Redding Big Boss II presses. I can't say I prefer one over the others. All three have very good spent primer collection systems with the Co-Ax being the best, cleanest and most fool-proof of the three. The...

Re: consistent bullet seating readings?? timelinex, I have the same inconsistent seating results you are experiencing. Like you, the inconsistencies sometimes drive me partly nuts. My related equipment consists of Co-Ax press, Hornady Comparator for measuring base to ogive, Matsutoyo digital...

Re: recomend a good bullet puller During nearly 20 years of reloading,I have used many inertia bullet pullers and they mostly work okay. However, to me, they have been inconvenient, time consuming and sometimes, messy. About one year ago I purchsed the Hornady Cam Lock bullet puller and it...

Re: press and dies wburke, I use both the latest versions of the Forster Co-Ax and Lee Classic Cast Breech Lock Single Stage Presses to load for my .223 Rem and .243 Win. In my opinion they are both excellent single stage presses and fun to use. If I were to load up 20 rounds on each press...

Re: Redding Competition Seating Dies (Adjustments) What Mutt and others have said +1. I am embarrassed to admit that when first setting up my Redding Competition Seater Die I did not PRECISELY FOLLOW their instructions. So, here goes: An easily overlooked step is to be certain the bottom of...

Re: Powder Mixing Without an advanced degree in chemistry and not knowing how that powder mixture might react, I would dump the powder. The risk of losing an eye or other more serious injury is just not worth the $25-$30 price of a pound of powder-in my opinion. John_M

Re: $200.00 Do I start reloading or buy more bullets? DeauxJoe, About three months ago I RE-STARTED reloading after a one year layoff. The peace, precision and enjoyment offered by reloading my own ammo gave me too much pleasure. I really missed not doing it. Within a year or so I might make...
