+1 for the Lee APP. I use it for swaging and it moves like a rocket. Switchouts between large primer and small primer is easy.
LEE APP is on sale at Midway for $99 with free shipping if we have convinced anyone of how great it is
what i hate about almost all those stores - like, i do not know what the lee app is. or before i did not know what the dillon was.
They do have some linked videos on the page showing it in action. But I do tend to go to Lee’s site and then YT for more info.what i hate about almost all those stores - like, i do not know what the lee app is. or before i did not know what the dillon was.
and you go there trying to get at least some idea of what it is and all you get is a picture like this - that shows nothing that can be clearly seen, and there is nothing else.
I mainly got it for swaging. I looked at other options, including Dillon’s one, and it was cheaper AND faster.goody, goody.
i've got all i need, but, to each his own.
i do not do it anymore. i mount the pocket reamer bit into a drill, drill into a vise, and then run a shitload of deprimed cases - ONCE - through this setup. it never needs to be addressed again.
That’s a perfect illustration of the perfect being the enemy of the good.
i noticed that autocorrect too, but, ignored it. let it be.
I'd say it's dull at that cutting diameter.
Yes, turning clockwise/tightening. It’s almost brand new, I’ve done maybe a couple hundred rounds with it. Can’t complain too much as I feel what I’ve got out of it already was worth the money, but figured it’d be better at larger calibers. I don’t want to run a ton of .308 brass through it and wreck the brass.
Ammoseek lists a few places with them in stock for <0.50loaded up a 100 of 175gr nosler rdfs in the 44 gr varget - as basic .308 recipe as it gets, and it works so well. now i am out of those noslers.
that was the reason of my rant in general, as i tried to get more of them at 37c, do not want to pay 40+. gotta wait now for them to appear on sale as blems, if that is going to happen any time soon.
I find all my powder drops are like that, they all seem to have a sweet spot , like for me H4895 through the hornady will drop darn near spot on (once I got the through of the charge handle down) 38-44.5 grains but be damned if I can get better than +/- .3 at 46 and above. Thank god my requirements are not that tight and im not shooting past 200 yards much at all so a .3 or even a .5 swing does not show up down rangei read on forums that they all are 0.3gr accurate at best. hornady was supposed to be the most consistent one, and it kinda was, until it wasn`t.
it is just some damn conspiracy, as when it locked into 41.5gr drop - i did like 10 tries out of spite and it did them all absolutely spot on. then i adjusted it up - and it jumped to 42.0.
the 0.1gr in R16 is literally like 2-3 small sticks of it. i am generally ok with setting it to deviate between 41.70 to 41.85gr or so, accuracy starts to fall off above 41.9 and below 41.65 somewhat, just need drops to be in that window.
i probably gonna get one more dillon measure and will try to play with it to see what can be done.
I was loading.308 yesterday and with new .01gr scale it was interesting to watch. Some drops were exactly at 43.88gr, around 10 as I placed them in a separate line in a box, then absolute most were at 44.08 with some going to 44.16 and rarely to 44.23.
Lee is not for everyone, especially if you need something fancy looking or a cool magazine with hot chicks on it .......goody, goody.
i've got all i need
