Yep, a Rockchucker that you will leave to your heirs. I can make 300 in a few hours and I am not fast OR skilled
I am a buy once, cry once guy. My original alternative was a Dillon 750 or the Rockchucker. Still have not bought a DIllon.
For guys who clean and polish brass with a tumbler with media-
Which cover do you use? It came with two, one with many slits to drain media and leave the cases inside and the other which is a solid top.
T 7 buy once and cry once. I first bought a Rockchucker and it worked fine for my needs. Few years later bought the T7. Still would be my choice today.
Bought an Equalizer and am happy with it. I tried it and the 365 and could not see any difference so I put a few hundred in my pocket and bought the Equalizer.
Anyone have a video on proper set up of Redding 223 deluxe dies, specifically the seating the die? Instructions that came with it are confusing and Customer Service was not too helpful.
Not the regular die nor the Competition die. You tube has many videos on the competition die but I can...
Interesting.... did not know that. What would be your choice for a 9MM die (decent/expensive one) that would not require belling?
BTW I agree with the "no fan of the Lee FCD" comment. To me it covers up any errors that I might make in my process.
The topic has been beaten to death 100 times...
I never tried it but I believe that seating the bullet without expanding (belling) the case mouth is all but impossible. Accidentally crushed a few cases where mouth was not belled.
I have never chamferred the case mouth
I have not seen any threads on this topic in a while.
For those who grind out the crimp have you seen any new tools that work better?
In the past the majority of the swaging gang loved the Dillon. Any new entries?
To me the process is a real pain.
For 9MM, you lubers say that you lube the cases and size/deprime, immediately "bell" the case mouth, prime, powder, seat and crimp. Without ever removing the lube? I have been lubing, sizing/depriming, and then tumbling before any of the remaining steps. Trying to keep lube out of the inside...
What OAL are you seating to? What handgun? I use RMR 124's to 1.110 to 1,115 with 231 grains of 4.2 and a few very weakly drop back in my face. Or only fly a few feet.
The deeper you seat the more pressure, correct?
I appreciate all the comments. The limp wristing is possible but I doubt it. While practicing, I did shoot a few rounds with my off hand and a few single handed but as best that I recollect that was not the stove pipe.
The 200 rounds in the new Equalizer were for familiarization.
30 Rounds of...
Yesterday, out of a batch of 200 9MM I had one stovepipe. First ever with my S & W Equalizer. Trying to figure out why. Light load? Weak spring in gun? I did clean the extractor pretty good the last time .
Ideas?
