98Z5V Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Roman, you using the one that goes in your press? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I went for the table top model to eliminate a step on the press. But have tried it and is not efficient for my process? single press needs a budy system loading for 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikedaddyH Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) That's like the Dillon model. Which goes for about $100. Edited March 2, 2015 by MikedaddyH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali_Ed Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Ed I have found two peak accuracy points with Imr4064 @ 93.5% and 97.5% of full power load. Finish your ladder test and use your numbers !I posted some pictures with results in the range pictures thread 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But have tried it and is not efficient for my process? single press needs a budy system loading for 3. Just wondered, brother, based on the "dent in the palm" comment. I'm using the one for the press, and couldn't figure out how that dented your palm... <lmao> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelDeVille Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I'm sorting my garbage can o'brass, and I can't seem to find the .308 brass I have so much of... Not even one... I'm trying to make a dummy round to measure the oal of my planned load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mineralman55 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I finally got started on a 46lb bag of 5.56 1x-fired cases. Began by throwing 10 handfuls of cases at a time (~350) into the tumbler to clean them up. This is going to take a couple months to get all these prepped.

sketch Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) My Gf found some pantyhose and I thought it would be a worthy experiment? Granted the rcbs media I can get is 22$ . In the mean time I'm also giving the lizard bending a try at 11$. I know all this is just my rout to wet /ss tumbling ....

mineralman55 Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 After making a time estimate of how long it would take me to process my 46 lbs. of 5.56 cases, I threw in the towel and found a commercial place to process them for me. http://bullseyeprocessedbrass.com WOW! One week turnaround and these things look like new! Sized, trimmed, swaged and steel pin tumbled for $135. Can't beat that with a stick. Of course, now I've got to go load them up. The "work" never ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelDeVille Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Prepped and primed over 150 ZQI brass, seems to be pretty good stuff. I even converted a few 30-06 cases to .308 just because. I have 500+ .556 in the tumbler now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
