[QUOTE="Texis, post: 3062688, member: 121376"] Great setup! You can make extremely good rounds with that gear. I would add a mandrel setup and IMHO you’re done. Mine is similar, plus Whidden bushing set for measurements and a mandrel die. I can commonly achieve single digit SDs, and sub .5 MOA. BTW trickle and weight EVERY charge for the last 1/2 to 1 grain, don’t count on the throw being accurate. Use good brass, Lapua or Peterson if they have your caliber. In my 5 years of hand loading with several friends, my rounds are just as good, often better than their $5,000 setups… BUT mines a slow process. “Rounds produced per minute” is where the high end setups come into their own. I’m ok with 15-20 very good rounds p/hour. I also prefer loading equipment that doesn’t require electricity 😊 Good luck, have fun 👍 [/QUOTE]
