[QUOTE="Centre Punch, post: 83863, member: 3048"] alg, I would highly recommend using an arbor press if you intend going the wilson seating die route, in the old days this type of die was struck with a mallet in order to carry out the operation, something i am sure you would not want to do with your new seating die, especially if you have the micrometer adjustable bullet seating stem. which works the same way as the seater on the Redding comp seating die. For the same price as Grp B Redding Comp dies here in the UK, Sinclair can supply me with a complete set up of wilson dies, bushing, arbor press, die base and micrometer seating stem, thats including shipping and duties. Oh, and redding bushings are interchangeable. Can't agree more with the wilson trimmer, but personally i use a K&M services hand turned 17 degree VLD chamfer tool, to cut just enough chamfer to start the bullet smoothly. Although you can use it with an electric screwdriver i am not to keen in chamfering under power. When i was loading huge quantities of pistol ammo some 15 years ago i was dissatisfied with the ram prime on the press but instead of going the usual handprime route i bought a RCBS Benchprime and can honestly say it is the best piece of reloading equipment i have ever used. Several of my shooting buddies have changed to this tool after trying mine, there is no effort involved and very precise seating can felt through the handle. Sorry, but can't help you with the neck thickness gauges, i clamp the mandrel from my neck turner into a vee block and slide it under a Dial Test Indicator on a surface plate for my measuremants. Hope this helps. Ian. "I meant to shoot the pike but the duck got in the way" [/QUOTE]
