Finally, my Forster Co-Ax press is on its way to my place and my collection of reloading tools is growing.
I'm trying to buy once, so I want to start with the best I can afford.

The guys that are shooting 1,000 yards. The guys that weigh your cases, what do you use? Or better yet, what would use prefer to use for loading precision rounds?
I'm not asking if these tools are worth the price or the time it takes to use them. I'm asking if they make an improvement in group size and if so, which one(s) will make the best improvements?

Top of my list is the K&M tool with the gauge. Measure and set the depth of each primer for absolute uniform depth.
Second is the 21st Century SS. The single press with the rotating head that changes seating depth by .0025" for every click of rotation.

My ultimate goal is to get my reloading skills and my gear up to snuff so I can go out and play at Borden with the big boys out at a thousand yards!
 
I use the Sinclair tool as well. I think the important part is to have the primer pockets cut to uniform depth, then seat by "feel".....

If you go to http://forum.accurateshooter.com/ You will find the majority of shooters don't weigh their cases, they just buy lupua brass.

The K&M tool is worthless unless you uniform your primer pockets.

Buying high cost reloading equipment doesn't mean you will become a better shooter. Some of the best shots do not have fancy equipment, they just have the ability to tune out the rest of the world mentally and become an extension of their rifle and part of their environment. (a K&M tool can't read a wind flag)

I would start reading at the main page of Accurate Shooter and go from there.

if you wanna play with the big boys, go out, start shooting :) and start fine tuning your rounds. I personally dont weigh my brass( I use Lapua) but I do weigh and sort my projectiles. Then again, I dont shoot with the big boys yet hehe

I agree 100%. The gear isn't going to make me a better shooter. The gear is meant to help make the best ammo I possibly can, which is just a small part of being able to compete. Once I'm rolling my own, I'll be able to do a lot more shooting and working more on my skills.
 
I think you might find the Co-Ax seats as precisely as anything else.
It's a one-at-a-time process, but it works very well.
I find it goes nicely, and once you get into a bit of a rhythm it goes pretty quickly.
Just get a primer flipper or some little tray to dump primers into rather than digging them out of the tray.
