auquhollie Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Micky, I have been using one for the past while. As far as accuracy & consistency goes you wont beet them. All you will need is the press and a neck & seater die. You will still need a normal press to body bump every second firing though. They have to be the most easiest dies to use. The neck die all you do is pop in the correct bushing and thats it. The seater you just set up to your seating depth and thats it. They never move or vary from your original settings.

menial 1 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I use them for all my cals. as well, and apart from the obvious requirements, press, dies, bump dies , anvils, a bushing or two below the size you originally require to achieve the desired neck tension are handy to accomodate the amount your brass will spring back as it ages. Hope this makes sense. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ive been in touch with sinclair via email,if you send them a email, they will tell you how to order it all in a kit package,which i didnt know before i ordered,which is a bit cheaper than buying it all seperate. They said they would knock some of the final price for me,which is good of them. Here is the email for contact ive been on touch with. persons name is Cordially, email is Support@sinclairintl.com let me know if you go for it.

alled12 Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Micky You wont regret it mate so much easier, you can set up and reload any where. I put off buying one for a while until I had a play with Vermincinerator's after that I wont go back to using a full blown press for anything other than knocking the shoulder back on cases as they get bigger. The only thing you might find you need to do is get the inside of the wilson dies polished as they are cut to the smallest saami tolerances, you can send them back to wilson with a couple of your fired cases and they will sort it out for you, otherwise I am sure the talented smiths on this site will help you out. Enjoy you wont go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alled12 Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Mick You may not need to polish them, unfortunately the only way you will find out is once you try them. Good luck and enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Hi, I also have gone down the arbor press/hand die route although I am waiting for my dies to get back from Wilson before I can start loading.Cant wait, got 100 new Lapua cases in 222 that I hope to get lots of accurate reloads out of Hopefully they will arrive in the next week or so so that I can knock up some rounds for this winters foxing.
