I'm using a Hornady lock ring. I don't know why they don't include lock rings. I did call Lee. They basically ran through some things with ne and kind of left it there. I'll probably get it replaced. Not sure if maybe it doesn't like the bullet. I told him what I was loading, sounded like he...

I know. They are for autoloaders

I'm getting.009" runout with my Lee Grendel die. I am new to reloading, but I still know consistency is the best path to good results. I'm not trying to bash Lee. IMy .223 die set works well and bullet seating is within.003" and I like the factory crimp die. I just wanted to know what...

They didn't want it. At least they didn't tell me they did or send a return label. I gave them a good description when I called.

So I've been having a consistency problem with my Lee bullet seating Die in 6.5 grendel. My RCBS Small Base dies in 7.62x51 seem pretty consistent. Just wondering what everybody else is using and having good results with. Lee tells me .005" runout on the seater die is normal (mine is excessive)...

OK, got the new scale. Powered them both up and let them warm up. Cal and zero with powder pan. After sitting for a couple hours the old one changed .5gr while the new one remained the same. I loaded 50rds of 6.5 grendel. I didn't notice anything change on the new scale. The old one I had to...

Spoke with Frankford. Super easy to deal with. Didn't have to wait on hold forever. They are sending a new scale, so we shall see what happens.

Haven't been at the bench, however I was having trouble duplicating it. I'm going to see what happens next time I fire it up. I always warm this thing up for hours before I use it, but still get weird deviations. Then when I go back and check my powder weight from the case it comes back lighter...

Depew

So yeah, I let the scale warm up for quite a while before hand. I also agree that as long as the weight is correct with the trickler next to it then who cares. I've had some other anomalies that I don't like. The scale is calibrated and zeroed everytime I use it and re-zeroed while using. I know...

Anyone ever experience this, I have a Frankford Arsenal platinum digital bench scale. When I put the trickler next to it the weight changes .4gr. Nothing is touching the scale. It's a Frankford Arsenal trickler as well, not that it would matter. Just wondering if this should be something to...

Power prep station is definitely on the list next though

I've been reaming with the drill. RCBS has a nice reamer that actually hase a base on it so you can't go crazy. Definitely like it better than the standard crimp reamers I've been using. Just picked up the Lee Ram Swager die. Did some 5.56. seems to work well. Haven't tried it on the 7.62 yet

The 168gr SMKs seem to be the go to so when I saw the 168gr Hornady BTHPM for half the price I figured they were worth trying out. Cabela's happened to get a delivery of priners in when I was there the other day so I was able to pick some up.

Still learning powders. The A2520 was available which kind of makes the decision for you lately. I also grabbed some TAC I'm using in my 6.5 Grendel
