    As to no where near as accurate...thrown charges of smaller grain powder are so accurate it's not funny...big chunky 2213sc requires a positive clunk,clunk but even those logs are never far off,but we likes what we likes I guess.
    75/15/10 black powder matters

    I do think that Backfire is pretty honest I rate his reviews although the price puts me off the Hornady they are quite a lot more than everything else

    I think RCBS is the best option in that style of thrower for reliability reasons.

    Its worth saving and taking the leap to an A&D if funds allow. very precise and very fast.

    Need to throw low then trickle up manually

    Plus it’s still hands on

    With the auto thrower you can be seating bullets while the next charge is sorting itself out on the background
    Literally saves hours of work

    I don’t enjoy reloading in fact i hate it so the least amount of time possible doing something I don’t enjoy so I can go and do what I do enjoy which is shooting
    Even though I enjoy reloading, I don’t do it slowly to spend more time doing it. I like anything that speeds it up. An hour spent making 50 rounds is just as fun as an hour spent making 20.


    @rambo-6mmrem

    Once you get your new machine, contact me first if you want gone, the old one. Since I have the same model, it wouldn’t hurt to hole spare parts.

    I agree
    Although your numbers are off
    More like an hour to make 20 vs an hour to make 100

    I was going to post the real number but didn’t want it to look like a boast.
