    What happened to Forster Co-Ax?

    Pretty sure all Forster products are 100% made in the USA with USA sourced materials. I have owned a Co Ax for over 20 years. Quality product that will produce good reloads. For the way I reload, I go back and forth whether I prefer it over a single or turret press. I have moved it off my...

    decap by hand?

    I doubt you will ever wear out your press or die. My 10 year average is 11,500 on a Dillon 650 and I haven't notices any changes to the press. The majority of my sizing and depriming is with 3 dies/calibers. If you are worried about damaging your expensive dies, you can drop in a cheap Lee...

    Forster Co Ax Press

    I had a Co-Ax press that was dedicated to rifle loading, but sold it! Very well designed, built and they produce very good loads, but I didn't like a few of the quirks of the press. I now use a T-7 for my rifle and progressive for pistol. If you are only gonna have one press, I would go...

    Firearms on Post Office Property Question

    And that is exactly why I asked the original question! I got to reading Section 930 and nowhere could I find an exception for bringing firearms onto Post Office property to ship. I thought maybe there was another law that covered firearms packaged/not readily accessible for shipping.

    Firearms on Post Office Property Question

    Is that based on your reading of 18 U.S.C. 930 or another law? The way I read section 930, firearms whether loaded or unloaded are prohibited.

    Firearms on Post Office Property Question

    I know there was a recent court ruling that came down on the side of the federal government that prohibits firearms not only inside the post office building, but anywhere on federal property, including vehicles. I'm curious if anyone knows if 18 U.S.C. Section 930 is the only law that addresses...

    Bulged Brass

    I've never timed myself, but I would guess you could do 1k in an hour and a half without too much trouble if you have good dexterity. I break out the die a couple times a year once I have 500-1000 saved up that are range pick ups or otherwise given to me. I can get going at a good clip, but...

    Bulged Brass

    My only experience is with the Redding GRX Push Through carbide die. Pricey, but works perfectly. I also use a Shock Bottle to verify most of my volume pistol loads. I find fewer and fewer bulged cases these days, but everything that doesn't come from my guns is run through the GRX.

    Martial law

    As George Carlin once said, "We have a bill of Temporary Privileges…rights are imaginary/fictional, man made! Rights aren't rights if they can be taken away." If you think you have these god given rights, ask the 100,000 Japanese/Japanese Americans just how well the 4th, 5th and 6th Amendments...

    are gun forums losing their alure?

    I think there are many factors at work! Move to social media and heavy-handed moderators are two of the main ones IMO. I don't do Twitter or Facebook, so I have no experience in that arena, but moderators walk a fine line and many times they are buzzkills for no reason. I totally support...

    Do you use one single brand of reloading equipment or multiple???

    Mostly 2 brands on the major reloading parts! Dillon dies on my progressive and Redding on my T-7. I have one set of Lee custom rifle dies and a few collet dies. Measuring and accessory tools are a mix of Wilson, Hornady, Redding, Sinclair, 21st Century and PMA.

    Hand held Priming Tool

    If you want one that loads one at a time and cost is not an issue, my vote is for the 21st Century. I have used many of the other high end brands like Sinclair and K&M, but the 21st Century is far and away the best IMO.

    Buy another Dillon 550b or components?

    I would first spend it on parts to make change overs go faster and after that components. The basic machines really aren't that expensive, but costs add up with everything needed for quick change kits. I also run larger batches between primer size change overs. If I have the components to run...

    Trouble setting up Dillon XL650

    Not sure if these pics will help, but the powder measure bell crank/linkage will need to be rotated right of center so that the fail safe bracket is in line vertically. I have the plastic wing nut adjusted so there is 11/16" from the bottom of the threaded rod to the bottom of the plastic wing...

    Which Turret Press?

    Lee Classic and this is coming from someone who has a T-7 and really likes it. I'm not a big Lee fan, but this one is a winner and priced right! If I was only looking for precision rifle loading, I would go another route!

    NEW Dillon 650xl and .223 any Tips for me

    Personally, I wouldn't spend the money on a low powder sensor. You will always have to stop every 100 rounds to replenish primers! I make it a habit to check cases and powder levels at the same time. Often I verify charge weights every 100 rounds too! Plus I think you should run some sort of...

    Your opinion on the best 300 win mag

    Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather! Not a huge fan of 26" barrels for hunting, but you asked! The few magnums I have owned, I had chopped down to 23 inches. Little easier to handle, but you lose some of the benefits of the magnum and they do get loud! I would look at the '06 and 325 WSM...

    Must do mod for Dillon systems

    I have 4 or 5 of the blue knobs and they work ok except they are not too secure since the powder bar bolt is rounded off. I have mostly gone back to the original set up since I don't change the charge often and the original has more fine control. It's fun to tinker with these machines even...

    Redding Dies

    It's subjective, but I believe they are of slightly better quality in their finish, tolerances and honing. I use Redding for all my non progressive rifle loading, excluding a few calibers where I use Lee collet dies. For rifle, I think there is a difference! For pistol, not nearly as much! I...
