    On the same channel there is a demo of 'upcoming products'.

    Still waiting for that Lee bullet puller, looked neat.

    that is a great wee demo...and shows how fast it can be...just remember this USED to make better ammunition than anything off the shelf..and that powder scoop was it..no faffing around with 1/10th of a grain
    I would argue that ammunition made that way is still on par with some factory fodder out there....by weighing your charge you can improve speed somewhat as the scooped charge will be middle of the road charge weight wise.....
    7mm Rem Mag me old mate....dont panic,when saw it I waas thinking @dannyb would still be weighing his first powder charge out LOL.

    @Micky Duck I'd say on a par with most factory ammo out there. Throw in a set of scales to dial in a load and you're still making cheap reliable ammo that I'd say would match most factory ammo at least. I had to grab a box of Hornady Precision Creedmoor ammo for a mate (he really rated it) during the lockdown shortages. $86 a box!!! And now it's $110! That's a lot of money for "precision" ammo!

    Why weigh the first if you're not weighing any of the subsequent ones ? ��

    Its a plastic hammer filled with lead shot so it doesnt bounce and plastic so brass and loader dont get damaged. Mines a snap on one but can probably get other brands
