Sized a bunch of 308 brass today , half once fired Match ( thanks Drew ) & some once fired commercial & about ten once fired LC ( probably from a Belt fed ? ) I noticed one thing right when I got to the LC , that I hadn't tightened the Press handle lock nut sufficiently , it loosened up first LC I tried to size . If you look at the Handle , it kicks off to one side or the other , which ever way you want to index it . I tightened the nut up again & had no further issues with it for the rest of the sizing process .
It sure is strange inserting the case in that floating Shell Holder , not used to the thing moving around , but seems to work pretty good . I have not figured out how to see exactly why the two presses size the cases differently , its so consistent in how one stretches the Case more & at the same time is really not much . Kinda reminds me of the difference in what a Small Base Sizing Die does in comparison to a Full Length Sizing Die . Except here its the same Die & Shell Holder & press set up , just different Presses , maybe it just because the MEC is new ? .
I will be comparing loads between the two presses , not that I think there will be anything thats going to jump out at me , but ya never know . I can tell you this , I like this Press so far .
