    A&D FX120i labscale reloading upgrade with V2 auto trickler review.

    I purchased the scale along with the Auto-Trickler and Auto-Throw. It's the reason I listed my Harrell Classic Culver measure. In hindsight, the Harrell would have worked too. Something didn't feel right about not purchasing the complete setup though. :)

    A&D FX120i labscale reloading upgrade with V2 auto trickler review.

    I couldn't resist any longer. It was this or a Prometheus II. I am not Prometheus II rich, so I opted for the complete FX-120i setup from Cambridge Environmental.

    Scales scales scales... tell me about your scale!

    When are you going to offer a promotion similar to this one again?

    A&D FX120i labscale reloading upgrade with V2 auto trickler review.

    Are there updates from anyone still using this setup? Concerns or praises are welcomed as I am close to buying the complete setup from Cambridge Environmental.

    223 vs 223ai for a trainer.

    I don't regret building a .223AI. Load and shoot regular .223 ammo as you please. There are a few who believe that you can't shoot regular .223 ammo out of a .223AI chamber. Not true!!! My Alonzo Custom Rifles .223AI is ridiculously accurate, and I love it. The furthest I've shot it is 1100...

    Swift Creek Rifles 7 SAUM AI

    I played with my new Forster Co-Ax press the other day. Since my SCR 7 SAUM AI was chambered for the 162 ELD-M, I decided to try three different fire forming loads this morning. Yes, that's a long range precision rifle in a rest. The bench is way too slippery that it makes it impossible to load...

    Expander Mandrels- Mandrel Materials Importance?

    Would this even matter if you use a bushing die? I should state that I only use the expander mandrel to uniform bent case mouths. I don’t turn the necks.

    Swift Creek Rifles 7 SAUM AI

    Thanks, Surgeon260. I don't have the reamer specs. Maybe my friend can chime in when he gets the chance. He designed the reamer. However, going the Ackley route with this cartridge isn't going to give me any substantial gains. Maybe a few more fps. Ackley just sounds way cooler. True...

    Definitely. At the moment, I am enjoying the mild fire forming load. :)

    Swift Creek Rifles 7 SAUM AI

    I had forgotten about this thread. Lets fast track to today. I am still fire forming brass. I have not made time to reload the fire formed brass. However, I finally had a chance to shoot past 200 yards. My friend and I ventured out to his property and set up steel out to 400 yards. The first and...

    Looking for 223 Trainer build advise

    Don't mislead him into thinking that buying a new Remington 700 action and having it trued is going to save him an approximate amount equal or somewhat equal to yours. Many times it's best to buy a lower priced custom action such as a Stiller.

    Swift Creek Rifles 7 SAUM AI

    NO MAMES. 183s going at 3,000fps must be devastating. That's awesome. I thought about using a long action. :)

    Swift Creek Rifles 7 SAUM AI

    Thanks for the kind words, gentlemen. It's the sickest build that I have owned to date.

    Swift Creek Rifles 7 SAUM AI

    Papagallos is back!!!!!! How long has it been since I've posted a new build? Too long if you ask me!!!! After deer season concluded, I started thinking that I needed a new rifle. NEED. That's the key word. I exchanged a few ideas with some of my shooting buddies and decided to build a 7 SAUM...
