Thread: Nice to haves

Plus one on the dedicated space call.

Also a plus one on the Lee spoons. I use these all the time and am getting pretty consistent with them now, wish I had bought them sooner. I don't even use the powder thrower my second hand gear came with, too fiddly to set up and get consistent.

Shell holder that matches your die set, that is for example if you're using Hornady dies, a Hornady shell holder is used.

CM 1500 ,T7, Redding dies, annealing via Makita drill, Sinclair pocket uniformer, Lyman flash hole uniformer via drill, Little Crow case trimmer, Frankford SSM cleaner, Sunbeam dehydrator, Mitutoyo digital callipers [new ones on order because the dog tipped the old ones onto the concrete garage floor..it kills them ]

+1 on the little crow worlds finest trimmer.. makes trimming 100 pieces of brass that much easier.
+1 on the wet tumbler. I love having clean and shiny brass, does a prettier job than dry media.
+1 on the trickler. I definitely wouldn't load without one.. for easy and accurate powder dispensing.

got a Frankford Arsenal Case Trim & Prep Center , found that really helps things along.

RCBS Chargemaster 1500 because of shoulder problems can't work at eye height any more.
Lyman T Mag 6 a Turret Press, 2 ports setup 308 flsd & seater, 2 ports 223, leaves 2 ports free to change out to whatever is needed.
Ultra Sonic cleaner, using dish wash & citric acid, not as anal about cleaning as I once was. Give the sooty necks a quick clean with 000 grade steel wool.

Hey team.
How would a powder trickler go with a traditional balance scale?

Perfectly. I throw mine out just under the weight and then dribble in the last bit of powder

That is what they were designed to be used with. Makes it so much faster.

Thanks both. Better than mucking about with a tea spoon then.

Use the teaspoon to put in an underweight charge, then use the trickler for the last bit. I used to have a set of plastic spoons of varying size, but now I use the Lee scoops.

+1 Lee scoops & Trickler
Recently bought a s/h chronograph and digital calipers.

Thinking the die shims would be handy.

So many options, thinking I would like to try bushing dies,
