What we need is a good heated discussion about reloading presses...

Those Forster fans are going to be upset that you knowingly left them out.

I wouldn't start anything with the Forster crowd--their straight shooters. They may be slow to prime, and float around a little, but no spent primers escape them...and that's no yoke.

Everyone knows real men wear black--and love to do the shuffle.

Since you are including the yellow, don't forget Smart Reloader...

That one even Herter to type.

I am with the blue crowd....Bair all the way.


It's a dangerous hobby, so remember in this day and age keep your hands on the wheel and no "Texan"


Even in "Hollywood", keep your hands at 10 & 2.

I used to drink the blue koolaid until the 550B ate too many of my precious 25-20 brass, despite many calls to tech support. Now I use a LNL AP and the CoAx I started with 45 years ago. The Dillon is great for almost every reloader, but it has its limits. The hardcore Dillon fanboys just haven't dealt with those yet.

My current press line up consist of a Redding T7, Forster Coax, Dillon Square deal and 550B. Every tool has its place.

Now that the press debate is going..lets talk about how pair of dial calipers you have on the bench. My favorites say Starrett and they are all made in the USA

My analogs are Starrett and the digitals are Mitutoyo. Same for the micrometers.

A few samples from Hornadia!!!! Actually from Dad's and GranDad's tool boxes seen in the background!

BTW - my replacement rotor for the powder drop arrived and it's like a cylinder for a classic 302

Did you try aligning the shell plate holder (plate on top of the ram) with the tool head? Powder measure adapter goes in station #1, and Alignment Pin drops through PM adapter to fit freely in primer hole. This alignment step solves several problems.
