I have just run a first batch of my .280AI brass {Peterson} through my Rollsizer and can say that it is just as easy and quick as you see in the video.
It is a quick “extra” step in my reloading prograhm and just mounted to my bench with a couple of G/C clamps so it does not have to be permanently mounted and taking up bench space.
The manufacture also says empirical evidence seems to indicate that it will also help reduce the rate of primer pocket growth and that some other place such neck/shoulder will fail first… Only 4 reloads on the cases but having just primed the lot {250pcs} all felt good when previously a few were feeling just a bit looser though still good… This definitely will help with the clicker problem though cost is always a factor but considering the cost of brass/availability it is an investment worth considering if budget allows…
I know someone that has abandoned the 7PRCW after being an early adapter due to just not being able to sort out a successful system to consistent accuracy and reloading process.
Since this is primarily a section for the 7PRCW and their loads/velocity I can say that my .280AI is running Berger 184's, 55.7gr of AR2213SC/4831SC, CCI 200 primers and going well at 2715-2730 fps.
180 ELD's with the same load run just a bit faster but did not perform as well as the Berger's.
My bullets are Hbn coated so I think untreated they would show a bit more velocity but happy at the moment as things are going well and cleaning is a breeze.
Have all in place including a magnum bolt to turn it into a 7PRCW once the current barrel goes south.
I think that the current thinking about running the 7PRCW too hot is correct and the fastest node is not always the most consistently accurate not to mention cost in barrel life, case life and components.
