    Talk me out of getting a Forster Co-Ax, please!

    Hello, I am fairly new to long range shooting (just under 2.5 years) and getting into hand loading now. I have a group of friends who I shoot with, all have different skill levels, budgets, all have very different "philosophies" when it comes to...

    Need help zeroing in on what I'm doing wrong when resizing...

    finally got a headspace comparator kit... I zeroed on a good, resized case that sits correctly in the case gauge... Bad cases that poke up are all over by about this much.

    Need help zeroing in on what I'm doing wrong when resizing...

    Necrobumping here... Check this out. Hornady gauge is utter trash. Checked my entire bag of "f'ed brass" in this Wilson gauge and it's all perfectly fine. I am so pissed! I wasted a lot of money, stressed myself out trying to get my brass to work in this POS!! (I used two pieces of brass just...

    Need help zeroing in on what I'm doing wrong when resizing...

    I really wish I had discovered this sooner. That was always the most common, "universal" piece of advice I saw in every YouTube video. "touch the brass holder, then go another 1/4," didn't even think to question it. I should probably just shitcan the ~20 pieces I mushroomed (or belted) out...

    Need help zeroing in on what I'm doing wrong when resizing...

    So, say I do find out that I'm adjusting the shoulders excessively (or not enough,) how would I tweak that out? Or do I need to use a different FL die (or split sizing into two separate dies as somebody said above?)

    Need help zeroing in on what I'm doing wrong when resizing...

    I have some Mitutoyo calipers, and Hornady "oal" adapters, no headspace gauge though I am aware they exist. Anything I can do shorter term before getting the headspace kit? I have measured the belting, you can see in my photo in the OP i think the widest point is actually still within spec which...

    Need help zeroing in on what I'm doing wrong when resizing...

    Sorry I haven't followed up (and I never made those dummy rounds with my mushroomed cases, to test in my gun.) This is all once-fired Prime and Hornady brass, fired and collected by me, with either my old Ruger Precision 6.5, or my AR10. The Redding FL sizer was exhibiting the same...

    Need help zeroing in on what I'm doing wrong when resizing...

    I'm semi auto unfortunately. I took one of these "bulged" cases and seated a bullet in it, no primer. Put it in a mag, it cycled in and out without any issue. The case looked a little scuffed up. I'll try this experiment again tonight and be more scientific about it, make a dummy round with...

    Need help zeroing in on what I'm doing wrong when resizing...

    I'll start off by saying I am new to the forum, new to long range shooting, and VERY new to reloading (produced my first batch of 6.5 Creedmoor less than a month ago.) Relevant pieces of my current setup that I used to process a bunch of brass yesterday: Redding Big Boss II w/ Hornady LnL...

    Talk me out of getting a Forster Co-Ax, please!

    Too late! So the turret on the T7 flexes, that's lame. The BB2 doesn't have a turret, what aspect is mechanically unsound? Loose/sloppy tolerances? Flexible linkage? I didn't like the rock chucker (on paper, at least) because it has no priming capability, and the spent primer capture system is...

    I used PayPal because O.P. doesn't allow different billing/shipping addresses. They grabbed the money immediately... I don't think OP charges up front if you process directly through them, but don't quote me.

    Am really tempted to pull the trigger on a Big Boss 2, sort of the T7 minus the turret system from what I understand...

    293 is unbeatable, I just can't wait that long. I have every other piece of the puzzle for reloading, JUST missing the press. It's killing me!

    Oh I definitely don't want to spend 630! I'll look at the Redding, thank you
