I bet there will be an invoice in there to pay with check. they are old skool except for the website orders

 

[#40Fan]

Informed delivery was wrong. Maybe tomorrow, hopefully by Friday. Would like to shoot the gun this weekend.

They sent my press on a phone call and billed me later !!
Rare these days.

Me too. i said I could pay now with a CC and he said no, I'll send you an invoice with the press and die and then just send payment with the invoice, thats fine. They area class act.

Don't worry if Harrell's doesn't deposit your check for a month either. You will get you your products and or service before they deposit your payment.

Honest patrons deal with honest businesses. Honest businesses know their clientele and have trust in their customers. Harrell's stands for fast quality customer service period.

Harrell's precision is one of the best suppliers I've delt with for any product gun related or not.
If you send the cases they will send the die. Their service and quality is the reason I purchased a Harrell's Arbor press, I will always support the little guy over the big companies.
I like knowing exactly who made it and any problem is a phone call away.
Buy with confidence

Exactly my experiences with them..first class guys. They send an invoice with their stuff and you pay
Old school but it works

Do you have your reamer print?

No. Savage pre-fit from Shilen.

 

[#40Fan]

I am sure it will be the generic no-turn reamer sold everywhere.

 

[#40Fan]

It just showed up in the mail. The invoice has a stamp on it saying the CC will be charged by Westmorelands Reloading. I'll get the wife to confirm it was charged later today.

Ended up with a #2.

 

[#40Fan]

NSS e mailed me a copy no problem,
The print will give you the bolt face to shoulder length,also the lead or freebore.
Bolt face to shoulder # will be important when sizing your cases.
Example- my reamer specs a 1.070 bolt face to shoulder
The Harrell's comparator length is .499
Total 1.569 which matches my fired brass
My die is set to resize the case to 1.5665 = - .0025 (bump)
My cartridges chamber smoothly
No guess work.
Jim

With Harrell's comparator, I am right at 1.5665 with the three pieces of fired brass I sent in. Difference might be on how much I screwed the barrel in.

 

[#40Fan]

length of the comparator?

.501", but I should be able to shorten up the open end and my measurement with it on the case shouldn't change.

I'll treat it like any other die. Screw it in, measure a case, size a case, measure the case again and adjust die as needed.

 

[#40Fan]

Not yet.

 

[Dusty Stevens]

Setting up that Die kicked my butt for two days until I figured it out.

Use your stripped bolt. No need to even own a case comparator. When your bolt goes over halfway down then you feel the case then your die is set perfect for that round of brass. Sometimes its .001, sometimes its .003 bump according to your rifle. And sometimes if you measure them and bump .002 you end up with .005 according to where your brass is in its lifespan, so use your bolt not a comparator

 

[#40Fan]

Any results yet??

Finally had the chance to use it today. Everything went smooth. By the fourth case I had a .002" bump. Took a lot more die to shell holder contact that I am used too.

With my slightly skimmed necks, my .266" bushing isn't going to be small enough. .265" on the way.

 

[#40Fan]

Hmm, maybe that .266" will work. I was fiddling with the dampener today, but had some promising groups.

Wilson bushings at one time were tapered a half a thou. If you flip it over you'll likely get an extra half a thou.

If it is throw it out or send it back

That's why I use the Redding bushings.
