Post your most USELESS piece of reloading equipment….

The case holder for the RCBS case neck turner. As best I can tell this was designed to be a cruel joke!

Run out gauge. If I had only spent that money on bullets, brass I would not have spent it on antacids

For me it the FL size dies in 223 and 260 .

I could be in the market for those 223 dies if the price is right!

I could never understand the handheld neck Turners ,there is no way you can keep a steady constant and even amount of pressure to make a good cut.

That hammer can be used for testing primers. Yep, it went bang after I smashed it!

I don't know about this one. When I first started in 1970 I loaded an awful lot of rounds at the dinning room table with the non deluxe one of those.
Didn't have any room for press or anything else for that matter, at least not until we bought our own house.

Lol. I almost took a picture of my run out gauge that had a fairly sizable coating of dust on since the last time I touched it.

I actually use mine pretty often.

When I load 32SWL and 38Spl, I often find cracked/split cases as they run through the progressive press. Since they're already primed and charged, I load them up and set them aside, then use the runout gauge to spin them under a Sharpie and put about 4 or 5 rings on the case body so I know to toss them after firing. Expensive case marker.

just for fun I loaded up my pet round with lee hand die setup for my 30-06. Bullets were all over the paper

I really don't have a useless piece of reloading gear. I do have a brand new RCBS stuck case removing kit, that has not been used since I bought it, years ago. That might comply for the thread, at this point anyway.

The man who has one and doesn't need it is way ahead of the man who needs it but doesn't have one.

Hex nut for ojive measurement. +/-.020” accuracy

More specifically the PTG hex-nut for ogive measurement.
It was the worst machined piece of garbage I ever owned and I am sure still taking up space in a landfill.
