I really like my Cowan. I think these are built by a shop teacher at a school, or at least they use to be.

Cutter1 If you don’t mind me asking, why do you like the Lyman better?

I’m looking to purchase a new SS wet tumbler and I would like some input. I’ve been using the HF dual barrel tumbler for a few years but the motor is getting week and sometimes doesn’t work. The tumblers I’m considering is: Frankford Arsenal Lortone QT12 Extreme Rebel 17 What would you...

Hello LRH! I've been working on some loads for my CTR and the load that seems to be most consistent is 40.6gr of H4350 with Hornady 143gr ELD-X. I don't have a chronograph (yet) to check velocity, but based on my reading on the forum I'm running a light powder load which would mean slower FPS...

Are you looking at FFP or SFP?

My 280ai is about to be finished and i'm looking for a new scope. I will be using it for long range hunting and local 100-300 yard competitions. I'm looking for a 30mm scope with a fine reticle, up to 30 power but no lower than 25 power. I have around $1000 to spend on the optics. I was...

I'm looking for the best 280ai die set for my Forster press. All I'm finding is RCBS, Hornady and Redding. I typically use Whidden and Forster dies, and I've read that Forster makes them but I can't seem to find any. Unless I get a different choice, I will purchase Redding. Any input?

Thanks for the advice. I will probably order a Forster FL resizer once they are back in stock. They are hard to find right now. kwh

Hello, Thanks for your input. I actually have a Forster Coax press so I don't use shell holders. I did find the PDF from Whidden concerning the proper way to set up their sizer. It is different and thanks for the heads up. Hopefully that won't cause a problem. If you have any links you...

Hey Rick, Thanks for the help. I'm still going back and forth between Forster and Whidden. I like the fact that Whidden is a Georgia base company.

I'm having trouble finding the Forster dies. Any recommendations on where to find both? kwh

I looked at the Whidden Die set and it comes with a Full Length Sizer. From what I've read, and please correct me if I'm wrong, I would really rather have a Neck Sizer rather than Full Length sizing every time. I know people have differing views about this.

Until now, the dies I have purchased have been basic dies for hunting. Now I want to purchase some benchrest quality dies for my Tikka T3X CTR in 6.5 Creedmoor. I first looked at the Redding Competition Bushing 3 Die Set, but after reading a bunch of post on numerous forums I've back tracked...
