Charged and seated a 6-step ladder of 223.

When the Ram was out, were you able to polish inside the bore of the press, where the ram resides? Not the easiest area to access, but some very fine grit sandpaper wrapped on a dowel would be my recommendation should the squeak come back.

I'd consider the T-7 to be manually indexed/advanced. IMHO, the T-7 has more of a 'single-stage, visually open' vibe than a 550, even if both are manually indexed/advanced. RCIV and LNL-AP here. Blue's comments in post 39 reflect my usage. One common misconception I had pre-purchase of a...

No heirs here,,, Kegs of Pistol Powder would be my 'overbought' entry. Gander Mountain was G. O. O. B. and Kegs of Universal, Unique, and Clays were marked way down,,, used a coupon code and made off with 4. Already had 2 kegs of other Pistol Powders at home I load for recreational 9mm...

Charged and Seated some 223. Was very happy with my first ladder (Shot this AM) Fiddling with the seating depth a bit now, but not sure I can actually shoot the difference. :)

Charged and seated a few more 223. 53 gr H Match & 55 gr V-max:

Charged and seated some 223 with 69 RMR's and 80 ELD's

IMO, it's complete overkill for pistol, but it has through the ram spent primer handling and will handle just about anything the OP won't be throwing at it. $170 https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1013008991?pid=317831 I have a RCBS Supreme, but that doesn't mean I don't want a smaller press when...

Question for the OP: Beside 357 Mag and 44 Mag, what other calibers would you be considering? IMHO, if just for ~straight~ wall pistol calibers, the Partner would be more than adequate, plus being a nice upgrade from the Lee Classic. :thumbup:

I've used several Hornady shell holders in my RockChucker Supreme press with no issues. (Some) Hornady shell holders don't work with my RCBS Hand Priming tool.

Been peelin' and re-stickin' powder labels for quite a while. I have some 8# labels cut to fit 1#, etc. I use clear packing tape when the original adhesive gets weak.

The cost of a happy wife is well-worth the price of a brass dryer!

Been a while since I posted. Charged and seated (100) 223 - 69 gr SMK with the last of my 8208XBR :( Charged and seated (100) 223 - 69 gr SMK with almost the last of my RL-15. (Nothing wrong with it, but I have plenty of alternatives on hand) Installed a new extractor, cartridge holder, and...

4X Magnifier from Harbor Freight = $2 https://www.harborfreight.com/home/hobby-tools/magnification/rectangle-magnifying-glass-37708.html

"Light bullet/fast powder" would be my thoughts. What do you have to work with?

Bullet tube loader.

Considering all the other gizmo's you've come up with, it is a bit primitive,,, ;)

Which brings up a good point: Needed capacity. I've collected enough brass that I tumble multiple batch's at a setting. (typically 2-5k cases total) I'd need a ~couple-3~ brass dryers just to keep up. I could let 'em all air dry, but time/space required would be a bit more. No basements here...

Heck, I had fun just findin each caliber (and perhaps a few others?) in the pic,,,,

I do. I leave them in the bottom half of my (drained) separator bin. They air dry over a period of a couple days here inside the house.
