[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1334295, member: 25383"] if you look at my bench and the shelf above it, you will see some RCBS dies with dust all over the boxes. Some Redding junk that ought to be sold on Ebay. Some Lyman M Series dies; which I like for my revolvers. Two or three sets of Lee collet dies from an experiment that didn't pan out. Some Hornaday junk, and a bunch of Forster dies that I use all the time. Add to this several sets of Wilson inline dies. For a press I own four. A Co-Ax (the Cadillac), a small RCBS Partner I use for some small jobs that come about with case forming. A K&M arbor press for things serious. Lastly a Mec 650 shotgun press. I don't own a beam scale, and probably never will again. I own three Pacts, and will often set two up side by side. Also own a digital powder dispenser, but rarely take it out of the box. I throw my charges with a Lyman #55 that has been reworked slightly. For serious precision work, I use my Harrell Culver measurer. I prime cases with a K&M primer tool. Just the best! Still I prime hand gun ammunition with the Co-Ax 80% of the time. Very consistent, but not target quality. Have three or four Forster deburr tools that are set up for odd jobs I hate doing. Like cleaning primer pockets. I trim most all my cases with a Wilson. Just the best. I turn necks with a Sinclair outfit. Works OK, but may buy a K&M someday. I do not use the Sinclair mandrels, but make my own. Cutting head has been reground and the shape changed. Not perfect, but better than the OEM one. I also use K&M primer pocket reamers, but I'm looking for something about .00075" small in diameter. I buy good measuring tools from the start. No Chinese stuff! My indicators are Interrapid or B&S Best Test. Nothing better. Own a Neco gauge, and a couple home built gauges. All use wand type indicators, and are very accurate. Own several sets of calipers. Some digital and some analog. I find myself using a 4" pair of Mitutoyo's more than any of the others. No dead batteries. gary [/QUOTE]
