[QUOTE="Winchester 69, post: 345449, member: 8037"] I'll suggest that at $145, the micrometer version is a luxury, especially since you are loading for a single rifle. A previously trimmed case can be used for setup when needed. The mic is available as an add-on for later upgrade if you ever find a need for it. The $40 Wilson version does the same job. Study the Sinclair catalog when it arrives to see what the differences are. Similarly, a mic seating die doesn't serve much purpose when your load-length is magazine constrained. That doesn't mean that a Forster seater w/o the mic isn't worthwhile. Mike's post introduces a lot of things for your consideration. Down the road you'll be mechanizing some things. You'll have options like using a drill press, power drill, or power screwdriver. Or an RCBS Trim Mate. You'll have a lot of things to think about. Don't lock yourself into one method before you have had an opportunity to consider others. If you have a drill press, you could use a Possum Hollow trimmer for a single caliber. It's better to plan your operation and then coordinate your acquired setup. Now's the time to discover possibilities. [/QUOTE]
