My progress in tooling up

[precision.riflecraft]

My credit card has taken quite a beating lately, but I've managed to get my hands on some terrific equipment. I have all of you to thank for guiding me along the path of provisioning my workbench. Here's what I've got so far:

Forster Co-Ax press
Redding 3BR powder measure
A&D FX-120i balance scale
Frankford Arsenal trickler
Redding Competition .300 PRC seating die with VLD stem
Redding Type S .300 PRC FL bushing die
Forster universal bullet puller with .308 collet
21st century expander mandrel die with .306 mandrel
Lee decapping die
RCBS universal priming tools (two for convenience)
Sinclair concentricity gauge
Mitutoyo 6" AOS caliper
Generic 6" analog caliper
Hornady bullet comparator set
Hornady headspace comparator set
Hornady case tumbler
RCBS chamfering and deburring tool
MTM loading trays
MTM load cases
Hornady sizing wax
Imperial dry neck lube and media

My next purchases will be:
More mandrels for fine-tuning neck tension
Neck bushing for my Type S FL die once ideal neck tension is determined
AMP annealer and pilots
RCBS vernier ball micrometer
Lyman case prep center
Frankford Arsenal universal case trimmer
Redding die set for .223 Rem.

Don't tell my wife!

Ya these days you better soak that credit card under water for awhile.... You have gotten some nice stuff though...

Lol i remember my start up list. I figured once i got past that it would calm way down ...
Now it's primers, powder & bullets ...
Instead of 1 or 2 zeros in the cost it's 3 ! ..

Id get a normal press to have also like a t7 or similar

Ah, so a CO AX isn't normal?

I agree with Dusty. I use a CO-AX but I also use my old Rockchucker a bunch. Some things are just easier on one or the other.

You're buying quality stuff which is very smart. Buy once, cry once.

Or a wack a mole Lee set, primers powder bullets. Make them look like factory. Of course mom,dad or both would yell "it's 10, stop pounding on your desk". "I need shells for tomorrow".

I look forward to buying only components, not tools!

It's the experience I want, not the physical things, but you can't have one without the other.

 

[precision.riflecraft]

Nice.

Cheers man!
