[QUOTE="shepardswatch, post: 1616533, member: 30793"] Dan, I'm trying to improve my loading, I had an accident that stopped my for a few yrs, but I'm getting around better and the bug's got me again. I loaded 223 through 25-06 and had pretty decent luck, when smoke flew fur normally went down, but I've not got into my larger calibers yet, 7mm-300wm and I only have RCBS Rock chucker and the Rock chucker JR.3 with RCBS dies. I've worked at trying to make sure powder loads are the same from case to case and trim length and prep are too. I really spend time on seating because I found the seater die is inconsistent so I manual seat each one slowly by feel and measure often till I get my length right, I got pretty decent varmint rounds that way. But a lot of the things you stated in your comments above is like Greek,Latin, or any other language you want to pick... :-] I want to further my understanding, loading abilities and be more consistent. A few nice guys on here have mention using an arbor press and maybe wilson dies, but when they got into collars, bushing and neck turning I've never ventured into that water. Honestly I wouldn't now where to start, I'm not an old dog as they say, just a middle aged dog at 58, but I believe I can still learn some new tricks. Sir, if its not to great a bother, and I don't want to burden you, could you direct me in the right direction or explain some of these things to me? If just going to an arbor press and better seating die is the answer I'll do my best to move in that direction. Thank you.... [/QUOTE]
