    Did you try Northland Shooter's Supply? They usually have stuff in stock.

    Emotional roller coaster: 6 powder droppers in < 3 years!

    The only real problem (plenty of small annoyances) I've had with the AT v4 has been the main tube binding up. I got one of the early pre-order units, and apparently there were some issues with the bearing surfaces - I think it was something with the low-friction tape on the one area - been a...

    Dillon 550 only- Tips, Tricks, Process Q&A thread .

    I've got an assortment of old modified Dillon (with the UniqueTek upgrades), various iterations of the Whidden, and now a couple Armanov. All with a variety of seaters, from Redding to Whidden to Forster to LE Wilson. The clearance issue with the Armanov comes from their use of an Allen head...

    Thorroclean & Bronze Brush Bore Cleaning Result.

    If it's either of the guys I'm thinking of... I honestly don't think they had any sort of chicanery in mind. They probably honestly *believed* they were doing everything right. They were just notoriously... misguided. Half a bubble off level, etc. Even by the standards of 'back when'.

    Thorroclean & Bronze Brush Bore Cleaning Result.

    If the person that Frank mentioned is either of the two people that I am thinking of... I wouldn't base *anything*, much less advice a company gives out, on anything either of those fuck-tards did. Either or both of them are fucking legendary around my locale for exactly that kind of...

    Thorroclean & Bronze Brush Bore Cleaning Result.

    This guy wouldn't happen to be from the PNW... as in WA state... would he? Because that sounds oddly familiar...

    Is it worth reloading precision ammo on a single stage versus progressive press?

    If you already have the 550 and are comfortable it's operation, I'd say it'd be a relatively easy step up to a two tool-head 'hybrid mode on the 550. I really don't think that you'd be leaving much, if anything on the table as far as accuracy for the styles of shooting commonly discussed here...

    Powder Dispensing Accuracy & Match Dies

    The reason people went to the 0.02 gn accuracy is that it's *plus or minus* 0.02 gn, vs *plus or minus* 0.1 gn. If your load is right in the middle of a big fat charge node, then yes, +/- 0.1 is fine, or at least 'good enough'. Back in the before-times - I.e. 'before Hornady thought it was the...

    Powder Dispensing Accuracy & Match Dies

    Blanket statements like that are disingenuous at best. *Short range* BR shooters *used* to throw all their charges. More and more use pre-weighed charges, or bring the scale to the range with them. *Long range* BR shooters (600 & 1k) have never used thrown charges. The nodes they're after...

    Primer seating depth?

    ^ this Can't emphasize this enough. It's all well and good to go down the rabbit hole chasing the last nth degree of perfection... sometimes it's a matter of priorities. Not at least bottoming out the primer in the pocket will lead to inconsistent ignition, but beyond that... there's a whole...

    Primer seating depth?

    Primers aren't a one-piece thing. There's the cup, the anvil, and the compound. The primer as a whole should be seated deep enough to where the anvil is contacting the bottom of the pocket, but (usually) not so far as bottom out the cup in the pocket. You can't (generally) compress the cup...
