    Yeah, there are quite a few hits on Google re cases stuck in dies. This is a lube/competance issue, not the press. The deepening of the threaded holes and longer screws plus a centre screw fixes...

    I fitted LED to my Forster. For a long while I looked at them as dannyb said, a gimic. Now I'm very impressed. If your lighting in your reloading room isn't great or is coming from the wrong angle...

    Mmmm, IIRC I paid $128 new somewhere between 1971 and 1973. Memory might be out a tad. Just b4 the change to decimal currency I paid 59 pounds 17/6 for a Sako Forester in 308W.

    Except for the attachment issues and possible zero shifting, the magnetospeed is still recognised as the most accurate device for MV. All the others calculate MV.

    You need to get a selection and see what your rifle prefers. Probably easier said than done as there doesn't appear a great variety around right now. I'm a CCI SV fan, cheapish and performs well,...

    That brings back memories. Was that on this forum or the old HnF. I went and bought a Bacho at the height of that thread. Didn't need one but in the end HAD to have one.
