I put two concrete post footings with two of those screw jacks on them supporting two 4x4 which span two parallel joists. One on each end of the safe, if that makes sense. Probably not necessary, but peace of mind.

I get an average of 1375 fps with 20 grains of AA#9 or 1230 fps with 23 grains of IMR 4227. Both of these were out of a Super Redhawk with 7.5 inch barrel. The only two loads I have tried with this bullet, so far.

Since they are bring Airplane back to the big screen, "you need to check your vector, Victor." Welcome to the club.

It might be disrespectful if you are a Taliban from Afghanistan or something.

I have never been asked for my ID when buying ammo at Wally World. I do get impatient when you have to wait a half-hour for somebody with the key to show up and unlock the case, though.

Good choices on the hardware. I don't think you will need to lap the rings, since they are the one-piece design. Good luck.

Because half of them came from France! :)

What type of media are you using? I think some are dustier than others. I hardly get any dust with corn cob that has run a few cycles with polish added.

Good call, especially if you are going to shun your secret service protective detail.

Glad you are so easily amused! The only die I've had to internally adjust has been a sizing die for a bottleneck rifle cartridge to change the position of the expander ball. All the rest worked right out of the box.

Also, the book will have no idea what dies you are using. They are all a little bit different and most books I've seen do not cover internal die adjustment. I think there is some confusion in this thread between setting the die height and tweaking the die itself.

I have known about these for a long time and thought they were a great idea, but never got around to ordering them. I think I will, today, thanks to your reminder. Using a wrench on the thing is a pain, too. Edit: Just ordered a couple of the "T" nut types. I think it would make it easier to...

That's odd. Does the powder bar retract so it is flush with the assembly when you pull the handle all the way down? The only other thing I can think of is that the throw adjusting nut is not turned counter-clockwise enough. They can be tough to turn with just your fingers sometimes.

They usually come from the factory pre-set. They come apart mostly for cleaning, extracting stuck cases, swapping seating cone shapes or swapping out broken primer punch pins. Yours should be good to go. They sometimes have a little instruction sheet in the die case which explains the...

What caliber and are you using the correct powder funnel for that caliber?

Bob Allen makes a decent one, if you are looking for options. I agree that the Midaway and Dillon bags are good, too.

Also, they make a toolhead clamping kit that stiffens things up a bit, if you are worried about a few thousandths COL variance.

Excellent work! Beats mine, which I made out of 2 and 4x4, using a handsaw and a hand planer :)

Excellent choice. I started out on the same press many years ago. I found that the manual that came with mine was very helpful in setting up the dies properly. Besides the 3 die set, you will also need a powder die and a caliber conversion kit. The powder dies are generic and will work with any...
