Scotch_egg Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 I am liking the revival. I will get pics up when my reloading room is sorted. Couple of questions though... a) Why do folks have a co-ax and std press's? is your charge master affected by the radio's? My dps2 certainly is affected by my phone. Long live harrel c) any one use the forster primer seater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris-NZ Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Here's the pics attached to a mail last week from my US mate. He's recently moved into a new house and it has a large air-conditioned out-building including two garages, a movie theatre and a two-room office, one of which he's converted into a secure gunroom and the other a loading room. There were twelve long guns still in the house which he didn't have a cabinet for but he's fixed that as of yesterday. Yes, it makes my 22 firearms look a pitiful collection..

Chris-NZ Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Mike- he has a reloading component inventory to start WWIII. When I'm over there, I only have to say something like Have you got say 300 55gr .224 SPs I can take back? and he'll point to 3 or 4 cases of 5000 a piece and say Help yourself. Some of the best groups I've shot with my .223s have been with his bulk projs. Those guys pay near nothing at times for "blems" from Midway, esp Hornadys. He got a heap of .308 SSTs recently at a super cheap price. Says while they can look a bit stained or whatever at times, hasn't had one yet that went wide on a target.

terryh Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Scotch Egg, In answer to your question re. the co-ax and a standard, for me the co-ax is for general purpose stuff the standard press (in this case an Rockchucker) is to take Warner sizers dies that require the 1 1/4 thread. If not for the larger dies then I'd only have the co-ax. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treacle Trackpad Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 +1 When I grow up I want to have a reloading room that is not in my garage where I have to spend 20 minutes making space around the bench before I am able to load a round... ...and where I cannot feel my hands after 5 minutes in the winter. Let alone the carrying of all the equipment from a room in the house to the garage and back...damn lottery... Finman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown dog Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 This is my entry for the wooden spoon . Yesterday: Powder handling. Bullet Seating. ..actually, ever since Laurie's excellent article on powder measures, I've stopped using the lyman dps in favour of the Lee cheapy (which Laurie's testing, from memory, revealed was as accurate as a Harrel and better than all other measures (but please don't tell me if I've mis-remembered that!)), I spend the first 10 cases calibrating my lever throw and various nudges and taps, after that it stays within 1/10gr -and I only check weigh every 5th round. It's cut my reloading time in half. I've also binned use of a 'proper press' in favour of a hand press; I reckon that's knocked another 3rd off my reloading time, and I don't get 'sitting awkwardly' back ache.

MJR Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Nice high tech approach there Matt I don't follow your thoughts on the hand press speeding things up but do know what you mean about back ache. And hey you can always take the handloader to the range.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Finnman, My guess would be a 45-something (70,90!), looks like a Browning BPCR or similar. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
