[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 457363, member: 25383"] I guess I'm like the rest in that I also have personal opinions on equipment and what you can do with it. * all presses pretty much work the same, but I like the Forster. It's big and heavy, and is extremely square * I use dies from everybody but Lee. But for something that's gotta be very accurate I use Forster and a few Reddings (with reservations). For my strait walled cases in revolvers I still like the Lymans as well as anyother I've tried. * I weigh powder with a Pact scale (have two actually). I throw charges with a Harrell Culver style or a Lyman #55. Neither does long stick powder all that well, so will setup a half grain short and trickle in the rest on the scale. * I own several pairs of calipers (both dial and electronic), but day in and day out I use a pair of 4" Mitutoyo dial calipers as much as anything. I also use two or three different pairs of micrometers, and still prefer a very old Starrett with standard steel anvils instead of carbide (I like the feel I get out of them) * I also use an old Stoneypoint gauge as well as their case gauge setup. (For headspace) * I measure neck I.D.s with a set of small hole gauges and a 1" micrometer * I check my cases and loaded rounds with a homebrew gauge that I may go ahead and market * I trim cases with a Wilson trimmer (strait walled cases with a Lyman) that I reworked * seat primers with a K&M or the Forster press, but have several others we often hear about. These two by far are the best * lastly, I do not use cheap dial indicators. I use a .0005" Interrapid most of the time, but will also use a .001" Last Word or a GEM as well. I have a couple cigar boxes full of indicators, but these are my favorites. I also reload at the range a lot. And here I use a small K&M arbor press and Wilson dies. I throw powder with one of the above two measurers, and use a Pact BBK scale out there. gary [/QUOTE]
