    rcbs hand primer?

    Lee has the Ergo primer which is what I have and I havent had a single problem with it. Got the new snap tray for free from Lee. I would buy it again. Its cheaper than the RCBS and I bought the shell holder kit for it.

    Lee's Deluxe Quick Trim: Good, Bad, So-so?

    I got the one with the micrometer for $130. Its not the sinclair micrometer just the stainless one with the markings and it works. Made a base from a scrap piece of aluminum C-channel and screwed it to my bench. I love it. They all come out the same length.

    Lee's Deluxe Quick Trim: Good, Bad, So-so?

    There is a rubber O-ring that keeps it from spinning. It is tapered and I think the O-ring is at the base if Im not mistaken. The case wont spin. Just the cutter.

    Lee's Deluxe Quick Trim: Good, Bad, So-so?

    I got it for my 270wsm and didnt like the inconsistency. The adjustment didnt seem to make much of a difference and I found it cut one side of the case lower than the other. I used the hand held trimmer instead until I got a LE Wilson trimmer. I cant say I used enough to really give a great...

    It's aliiiiiive! My janky homemade annealer

    If you use Tempilaq you can. If the BTUs change then using a flame on any annealer is a waste of time. If the 750 degree Tempilaq melts at 6.2 seconds according to your stopwatch then you set your wheels at 6.1 or 6.2 seconds and all your cases should be annealed the same. By looking at a glow...

    It's aliiiiiive! My janky homemade annealer

    750 degrees Tempilaq in the case the case mouth and 450 degree on the case body. Use a stop watch to time the melting of the 750. Then adjust the speed of the wheel to drop the case at the time you recorded. It will save you from you experimenting with brass. I dont have one and never annealed...

    Advice for Reloading for 270 Winchester

    Load some more at the 55.5gr and start backing off the seating depth in .01 or .005 increments to see if it tightens the groups up. Its that or possibly one of the components the gun doesnt like? Im new to reloading but I would try playing with the seating depth before changing components...

    Giving up RCBS Summit press

    The only split pin I have in my Lee CC is the one in the top of the ram for the primer arm. The tube doesnt come off unless you pull on it due to the bottom of the ram shaft being a bit bigger than the tube opening. Having the ability to change from left to right handed and adjusting the lever...

    Noob Question

    Its not. He explains that in maybe another article? Anyway you should find a node or 2 your gun likes in the upper 50% of the charges. You could possibly get a more accurate charge in the lower 50%. My calculations come to around 50/50 or 60/40 of the charges and not 80/20 but Im guessing it...
