I use the Redding Competition seating die. The micrometer gives me very consistent results. I also use a comparator.

FWIW: I once bought (from Dillon) a .41 mag sizing die that didn't even touch the case. It was marked .41 but I suspect it was .44 or .45. Dillon replaced it.

You might want to see if small base dies would be of any benefit.

What's next? - reloading 22's.

OMG someone's trying it!

My experience was similar. I bought a LNL, had problems, worked with Hornady - they were great but could never get my problems resolved. I returned it (and paid a restocking fee) and bought a 650...

As stated above given my experience with past Frankfort Arsenal equipment I will not buy anything more from them - except their case polish.

What he said!

I use 6.5 gr. of Trail Boss with a 215 gr. cast SWC and 19.8 gr. of 296 with a Hornady 210 gr. XTP. Both are very accurate and fun to shoot in my 57. The muzzle flash with 296 is impressive even in...

Thanks,

As mentioned in my original post I already have a conventional, single stage press that can be clamped to a table/board/counter top/stool. etc. that is small enough for my needs. I have...

Beautiful. Thanks.

For a variety of reasons I'm going to lose access to my reloading bench from Sept. until Jan. In order to keep shooting I'm only going to reload for three pistol cartridges: .38 Special/.357 Mag....

Had a Forster - sold it and bought an RCBS - happy.

I have dies made by Lee, RCBS, Hornady, Redding, and Lyman and they all work with the Dillon tool plates.

Thanks Steve. What a good idea. I normally use a indexing progressive with a powder check die so missed loads aren't a problem, but there have been occasions where this would answer a question. ...

Progressive: Dillon 650
Single Stage: Forster Co-Ax

I had the same problems as above. After two weeks I returned it and bought a 650 with bullet feeder. Best reloading decision I've ever made.

I agree with this statement. I have been to some bench rest matches and you don't see any progressives there. I mostly see Wilson or Sinclair arbor presses. This is probably due to their size and...

I Iike the heavy duty plastic bags as well, but I've also had good luck with baseball card boxes. The 200&300 card sizes.

Google "Collet" bullet puller. Might be cheaper to get rid of the brass.

I think the best thing about this thread is in the second post a very clear explanation of the two dies was given. I have seen threads going many pages and getting very heated before everyone...

Progressive: Dillon 650
Single Stage: Forster Co-Ax

I've got most of one that you can have for the shipping cost. Send PM if interested.

I like my co-ax press but I sold my Forster primer seater and bought an RCBS Bench Priming tool for those times when I don't use the primer seater built into the press.

Another vote for the above. I normally load 100 .243's at a time and it's a pleasure to use.
