No, not based on die quality. The micrometer feature is very convenient, but since you're already pushing 0.5MOA, I don't think you need further...
As I've said elsewhere:
For any precision tools I can't find antique made in Switzerland, Germany, or the USA. . . I strongly prefer Mitutoyo. They are a great...
1. Find the barrel lugs, then find the bolt lugs, and you'll notice the receiver isn't related to headspace. As for 2. and 3. . . depends why...
I own several, and would buy again. If you're after a social work carbine (irons, torsos to 300), they're a solid value. One of the three spit...
Hi. My name's Ed, and I shot my Chrony. So I built hard cover for the new one. . . [ATTACH] Ain't that the truth! I shot mine with a friend's...
This is the first time you've ever measured OAL variation isn't it. And I'll bet you're measuring from the tip, not the ogive. All but the most...
Perhaps you live in the promised land of competent gunschmidts. . . but do you have any reason to suspect your local guy of any competence...
Not surprising, and provided it's slight, and the hammer won't fall off with wiggling (rounded sear or hooks), I wouldn't worry. Fitting a 1911...
Since you aren't resizing the case very much, it's not necessary, but it will make your life easier and noticeably quieter. For the one-at-a-time...
You should repack that, and shoot it. Through a 2x4, into a piece of drywall 5 ft behind the 2x4. That should illustrate the working principle well.
Unless you're re-forming cases, splitting necks before pockets loosen, or loosing accuracy for variable neck tension. . . don't.
I have seen pulled bullets that were so badly abused they were smaller in diameter below the neck; that's rare and RMR would have stated as much...
In my assessment, the trap is far simpler than that. Every registration the trap elicits is a success, because that's one more arm that's a...
I'm not familiar with a manufacturer doing business as "Target". If you'd like meaningful feedback, you should specify the model and manufacturer...
The same phenomena that makes putting the gas pedal on the right more preferable. . . putting it on the left is bass ackwards. John Moses...
Either you misunderstood, badly, or that person is dangerously ignorant. This is the opposite of true.
No. The die bears against the case head, inside the case, and needs adjusted to the case head thickness of each headstamp batch. Within any batch...

You did it again right there! The folks who can't keep bullets and cartridges straight (and the "bullet heads" goobers) are easily confustucated.
