If you are interested in more detail ... The Forster Co-Ax press is a very high-quality press that offers a number of advantages over other presses. It's not for everyone, in view of the price premium. It's a great press for a beginner because of the die-mounting feature. Different from...

Another vote for the Forster Co-ax. Instant die change AND very accurate. Adjust a Redding Competition (micrometer) seating die, take it out, snap it back in and it still seats the bullet precisely to the same depth.

lead exposure Great posts in this thread. I am a physician (retired) but have no specific expertise in lead-related toxicology other than that learned many years ago in medical school. Lead is a cumulative toxin, so prevention is preferable to treatment after exposure. Common sense...

Peltor Tactical 7 Peltor Tactical 7's are excellent.

another good report I have the Elite 4200 6 - 24X 40mm scope with the parallax adjustment on the front objective, mounted on a Cooper .223. So far this has been used for target shooting and load development with great results. I have been able to shoot .250 - .400" groups repeatedly at 100...

Hiaboo - broken decapping pins Hiaboo - You might try a Lee decapping die. It is very inexpensive (less than $10). When I ordered mine, I ordered extra pins with it. After seeing the thing in action, though, I doubt that it will ever break a pin. The pin looks like a tree trunk...

OAL variances To expand on what Walkabout, 30Cal and Mr White said: Hollow point and plastic-tipped bullets vary surprisingly in their lengths. Check it yourself - measure samples of these bullets for overall length. They vary by up to .004 or .005. :what: I was floored by this - it was...

Forster Co-Ax press To reply to Stubbicat and add my $.02: The Forster Co-Ax press is excellent. The Forster rings are recommended to optimize one of the great features of the press - its ablity to "float" the die in the x-y or horizontal plane. The die ring "snaps" in to a...

Many posts have praised Imperial Die Sizing Wax. I tried this, too but ended up sticking a case in a die :mad: (.223 case, new Redding type S full sizing die). The Redding tech rep thought that since I had recently cleaned the die, it would be good to lightly lube the inside of the die after...

Matt304 - Yes, you can attach a drill or better yet, a power screwdriver to the Forster case trimmers. You have to order an inexpensive Case Trimmer Power Adapter, part # PA1000. This replaces the crank handle and works well with a small power screwdriver. This part should be available at...
