Your favorite piece of reloading gear

[Mastershot]

Area 419 press, 12 years on a RC what a upgrade. No more swapping dies, my BRA and Dasher dies work great on one tool head.

 

[NZ_Fclass]

My Dillon 550's. Decap, FLS,mandrel, etc all on a tool head. One for LRP, one for SRP. Seating for some calibres too. Good stuff on Wilson dies/ KM arbour press.

I ordered both last week... can't wait.

Do you trim before or after sizing?

After

I second the Garmin Xero. Made load testing so much easier and accurate.

Too many directly applicable choices, so for me it's Spotify. Gotta have some tunes . . . .

Now THAT brings back memories! A Les Paul and Fender amp. All I have left is a Gibson SG and a Twin Reverb. Some of us lost our hearing from shooting. I had other ways . . . .

Guns, rock n roll , tractors, noisy case forming machinery at lake city. No wonder I say what all the time. Doug

Mine would be this Sherline I picked up cheap off craigslist a couple years ago. Variable speed 0-2800. Brass prep, polishing dies, small projects..... wish I had bought one 30 years ago.
What's yours?

Is that the 8 inch between centers?, been thinking about getting one.

My best buy amongst the stuff I've bought , was a prep center, that saves soooo much time and effort on processing cases. Next would be comparator sets for bullets and cases. Now I use a prep ctr to clean pockets after decap, then a 3 way trimmer head after sizing, between those two, life is pretty simple with processing cases.

I absolutely despise case prep. Therefore, my Giraud trimmer leads the list of favorite things. And the best part is my wife gifted it to me for Christmas. It has trimmed countless thousands of cases. I do admit the Autotrickler V4 made me think a bit, but, the Giraud always came in first.

The hand primer. Always some BS with the bench primer.

My Garmin. I tried tuning my rifles last year off well known loads, advice, and the shoot and see method because my chrono was such a PITA to set up. This Garmin chrono is a gamechanger for me. In just 3 outings I have a tune for both rifles and a direction to go when conditions change, all with a new lot of powder and 2 brand new rifles with new barrels.
