Re: Like new Nightforce 5.5-22x56 zstop hs turrets Price drop! PM Sent

Yep, It's pricey but if you shoot much it pays back pretty quick.... Brass prep for this caliber is a PITA.... FL sizing takes a man and a small boy so be sure and mount your press to something very solid.... Imperial sizing wax is your friend here and be sure to lube not only the outside...

doubledown is right..... I've found it's easier to find beowulf brass than the 458 socom.... Have only shot a couple hundred rounds through each so pretty early to tell but so far the brass doesn't show any signs of any problems..... I taper crimp both and don't push the limits on my...

My 50 is a bolt gun so I neck size anything that I have shot in that gun..... I FL size any other brass....

I can't help you with the 450 bushmaster but I have both the 458 socom and the 50 beowulf.... Both are great bush guns with plenty of knock down capability.... Be aware that reloading is the way to go for any of these..... Ammo can be hard to find and pricey.....

I reload using the Hornady 50BMG press...... 50-Cal-BMG-Press-Kit/ So far have reloaded roughly 400 rounds on it with no problem..... Can't give you a comparison since I don't have any experience with the other manufacturers......

Imperial Sizing Wax...... Tried a bunch of different stuff but this is the best.... I keep a little on my fingers and lube the cases when I inspect the brass before loading in the press.... Doesn't take much..... One can goes a long way....

I have loaded 12 different calibers on my 550B for a number of years now.... Only problem I had was decapping with spent primers ending up on the floor with regularity and the crud typically associated with decapping ending up in my press and eventually gumming up the primer bar.... Now I...

Awesome gun and nice job on the bench rest!

Like the earlier posts I tumble with my SS media after decapping.... Very clean primer pockets and for drying I usually lay them out on paper towels..... Brass looks like new!

I have a lee classic cast that I use for all my decapping/sizing.... Had it for some time now and have never had a problem with it.... Very strongly built......

Using a filter is an awesome idea! Thanks for posting it!

Giraud. Trims, deburrs and chamfers all in one pass.... Quick setup, easy to use, fast and accurate....
