[QUOTE="robbor, post: 114207, member: 1420"] First of all I would ask your self WHY you are in need of upgrading your reloading equipment? Next question how big of a deal is money? Case trimmer: I would not bother to upgrade. I do have a wilson and to me it is nice to be able to debur even and concentric. I would think more gains would be had elsewhere. Debur: When I ordered by VLD deburer I asked which one was better. I was told no differance has been found between the two. I chose the VLD because it more closly hatches the taper of a boat tail. But I steel wool the bevel reguardless to smooth out for seating. I would not worry about your deburrer. Priming: I dont uniform pockets,to much trouble. Sorting: This is where I would spend more time before upgrading equipment. I would sort and weight, neckturn to about .003 clearance. Which means necking down brass if needed to get correct thickness and length necks. Priming: I hand prime just because I feel it is easier and faster. Sorting bullets: You can do this if you wish but is probably a waste of time. Dies: I would not upgrade until determine how well your loaded ammo is comming out. What is your gauge telling you when you check cases? Spend a little time trying to adjust your dies to reduce runout. Gauge: Go buy a piec of precision drill rod probably 5/16 and check your gauge, if its reading off send it back to manufacture. If they cant get it to read correctly then tell them to refund your money to buy one that is actually accurate to their specs. I have heard the sinclairs are good. I dont own a concentricity gauge. I will either make one like theirs or buy theirs. Thats just my .02 from a novice reloader. [/QUOTE]
