another - reloading tools i "need" thread

[OttawaHunts]

I bought my last, must have, last fall. The Franklin Arsenault Case Trim and Prep machine. It has made my .223 production so much faster, as I make between 4000-5000 rds per year. Still make the rounds on a 40 yrs old single stage RCBS Rock Chucker, still check each round with a flashlight after powder charge in batches of 100 at a time.

If was to get another "tool" it would be Caldwell Radar unit with a phone set up. I get by with a buddy who has one.

If I ever get into Pistol reloading, then Dillon 650

The case prep center is only $239.00 on Amazon.ca

I do have a case prep center. The rcbs model , which I hardly use as I prefer using my KM hand tools for primer pocket and neck prep .


The problem with components at the store is the monopoly pricing .... compared to online - bullets are 50% more, powder can be close.to double, brass Winchester is almost as.much as Lapua from our sponsors..

Assuming this is IO? I would wait for their annual "Lucky Sale" in a couple months.
