Thumbs up Tips and Tricks!

Since the management has been so kind as to provide a place for us to put "notable" threads, what say we have one about the tips and tricks you and I have learned over the years!

Here is one of mine.

I know I have posted this many times in other threads but, it will live in infamy here!

All kidding aside, setting up a Square Deal B can be a pain in the fanny if all you have is one tool head and powder measure combo. Here is what I do:



After I set the dies up the first time, I wrote the measurements down on the inside of the caliber conversion kit box lid so the next "go round" wouldn't take so long. The place it really comes in handy is for that pesky powder measure setting. It controls the bevel and when the powder measure is full, it is a trip to try to adjust.

This "trick" can be used on any die set though. Keeping records is the key to quicker setups.

What about you? Make a special tool? Figure out something that has really helped you?

Post it here and let's see where we get!

(I have a few more should you good folks get stuck! )
