What do you regret buying?

[sp6x6]

Its designed to use your own brass,that has been fired in your rifle.But it is not always that easy to tap and get right.So they supply many ''brass case gauges" but these do not usually match your chamber and ad in more miss information.So I prefer the sinclair set up better.Also the Sinclair consinetrisity gauge has been more precise than the hornady

Regrets; way too much brass for a couple of cartridges that I've lost interest in... for now.
Lapua brass for a LR260 that beat up the brass too bad even with an adjustable gas block.

However, the best things would be a 5/32-36 tap for making my own OAL gauges and RCBS motorized trimmer with 3-way heads.

A 6.5 fluted barrel blank. Before I was savvy enough to know what I was buying. Someone had fluted it too deeply. Wasted a lot of money.

In hindsight I regret spending the extra $$$ on a Whidden dye set. While the FL bushing dye's detent adjustment for shoulder headspace is a convenient feature, overall the FL bushing dye produced results the same as my Redding S dye. The Whidden bullet seater/micrometer dye, IMO, is not the same quality as the Redding competition, micrometer dye.

Redding "classic" powder scale that has been around for 50 years with high praises. The lightest sliding weight is easily moved when removing and replacing the pan. Although I routinely check all systems while reloading, it is frustrating to discover the weight is moved after 1-5 rounds have been completed.

The Whidden bullet seater/micrometer dye, IMO, is not the same quality as the Redding competition, micrometrr dye.

I wasn't happy with my Redding neck sizer die. But I love the Redding Benchrest Competition Seater die. Great service since 1991-92.

+1 for cheap case trimmer.

The Lyman AccuTrimmer was a waste of time and money.

+2 on the Lyman accutrimmer waste of time and money. Scheels powder dispensor I had incosisntant throws with it more then not. Bought Rcbs after scheels gave me my money back on the scheels one haven't had an issue since.

I can't say I regret buying 'other' bullet pullers (anything beats a pair of vice grips) but do wish I started with a Grip-n-pull.

Federal brass before I knew better. Lapua is WAY cheaper in the long run. Ram shot powder, rcbs 5-0-5 scale.
Thing I wish I would have bought from the beginning. A case prep center, I have a Lyman and love it. Redding dies, rcbs/ohaus 5-10/10-10.

I regret not buying more Mules when the prices were low.

Oh well,,, at least I got my Hoss Cartwright 10 gallon Cow Girl hat when it was on sale. LOL

An inertia (plastic hammer) bullet puller. The collet-style in a die are much better.
