[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1547948, member: 87243"] I can't really reference any videos, as I was taught most everything I know by my Father, and a few other things by reading on here and other long range sites. Hopefully someone else has some good videos to share with you. However, I do have preferred equipment. I use an RCBS rockchucker press, on a VERY sturdy bench. I don't like movement when I run my press. For trimming, I use a Lyman e-z trim hooked up to my dewalt drill, super fast. I use the Hornady OAL gauge for finding the lands, but I do not use the hornady brass. I fire my own rounds, then sacrifice a piece of brass to use for that specific gun to get an cartridge base to ogive measurment. I have an RCBS set of analog calipers for measuring. I use a frankford arsenal digital scale, one of my pieces of equipment that I would like to upgrade. I dump powder from an RCBS uniflow dispenser and weigh every charge. I'm sure I'm missing many other pieces, but those are the main ones. I can say, that RCBS has fantastic customer service. I had a handle break on a press I was using, I have no idea how old it was, I purchased it for $25 at a garage sale, I called them as I could not find one on their catalog, and was going to see if I could purchase one. Instead, they sent me the handle, free of shipping and any charge. This thing could have been 30 years old or more, and I have no idea who originally owned it. That kind of sealed it for me, I prefer RCBS for my presses. My rockchucker press is very consistent and sturdy, sizing even stubborn brass is not a challenge. [/QUOTE]
