[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2397845, member: 1951"] QuietTexan has it pretty well nailed….I do it a bit different… My substitutions would be: MEC Marksman Love the A&D, but honestly you can get a long ways down the rabbit hole with a great +/- 0.1gr electronic scale you can trust. A dispenser is nice. Redding Bushing FL die set, Whidden Die FL die set, or Forster FL die set….I view these all as pretty equal. Honestly the Hornady Match Grade bushing dies are probably as good. I have all of these, but haven’t measured results of the Hornady bushing dies yet. I find othe Hornady dies pretty good. In my measurements, I find Forster produces the least runout. I used the RCBS priming tool. I find the K&M tool to be much more precise. I feel my next step here is a bench mounted adjustable stop tool like the k&m. Hornady or Sinclair Comparators. The Sinclair seem a touch better, but I’m struggling how to quantify this. Maybe not possible on target. I would add 2 calipers and a gauge block….you need something that tells you new calipers are good and old calipers are still good. I would also strongly suggest a check weight set more accurate than your scale. Also, I would suggest a decent runout measurement tool like 21st Century, Accuracy One, Sinclair or RCBS. The RCBS is a little inconsistent, but works pretty well. I always here this isn’t needed, but I have found bound up lock rings or other issues with them a few times…..or LNL bushings that were not true. …..and hold onto your butt! This is gonna cost you!
