Precision Rifle Ammo On A Progressive Press

Drill: Get Fit Or Die
Просмотров 264Год назад
I came up with this drill while at the range looking to add some fitness to my practice. It is called the "Get fit or die drill". You will need 1 USPSA target, a handgun, 10 rounds of ammo and a 50 yard range. I am coming off 6 weeks of no shooting and no working out, so this time/score should be achievable. If you shoot it, let me know how it goes!

    How consistent is your seating depth (OTB - ojive to base) ? I am struggling at the moment w/ my Dillon 750 and getting .005" variations in seating depth which is not acceptable for my precision rifle needs. I have the thrust bearing modification and I have honed the bottom of the case plate.

    I’d of been there but I was sick AF. RO’d 4 Mammoth 1s and the mammoth 2. Shit smacks. Being an RO is a blast I’ve told a lot of people about the match that are all gung ho to run it, who haven’t ever competed and I typically tell them “come RO one before you invest your money and time into competing” just so they can see the scope and scale of the match. The cleaning rod thing too is legit. Wed rubber band cleaning rods in the corner of our M4s in the Marines. A lot of SOF guys do similar. I’m quite surprised at how many people don’t consider how easy it is to stow for an-on-the-clock stuck case or round

Children are, for sure, a gift from God - one not to be taken lightly. I pray that God will send you both his comfort and peace in the days to come. I know it might not seem so now, but what a blessing and a gift to know that we will all be together once again, for eternity, in Paradise. We think of you often and pray you are doing well. Y'all should stop by sometime for a visit. I'm sure those chickens are living the high life !!!! May God bless you both ...

    I have a similar setup for my F Open reloading (6 Dasher and 284). My biggest struggle is priming. The 750 is just very inconsistent on primer seating depth with some even above flush. I can never get them to seat say .003 deep. I have tried the Armanov bearing cam with primer adjustment but it only works if trying to seat primers higher. What do you do to adjust and get the correct primer seating depth?

    • @lukethings
      @lukethings 10 месяцев назад

      Interesting, I have had no issues with priming on mine. Granted, I am not measuring seat depth as would be needed for something like F class. But, I never had any end up above flush.

    Switch to a super trickler / V3 with IP (2 of them preferably). You will get much more accurate charges, faster throws to decrease your downtime.

  • @NiteQwill_
    @NiteQwill_ 11 месяцев назад

    I load precision ammo on an Mark 7 autodrive with my XL750. After loading several years on a Area419 Zero, I found no difference between on target between a Dillon vs Zero. My process is using 3 toolheads (you can generally get away with 2). 1. Decap using fullsize FW Arms decapper. Clean. Then anneal. 2. Resize using SAC die. Followed by trimming and priming. 3. Powder drop using dual (2) Autotrickler V3 + Ingenuity Precision trickler. Mr Bulletfeeder + Lee inline bullet dropper. Seating using a SAC 'The Seating' die. I can load 400 rds in 30-35 minutes. My only limitations are putting more bullets or filling the casefeeder. This process has afforded me time to do other things.

  • @Lethalmuffin87
    @Lethalmuffin87 11 месяцев назад

    Honestly I think you’re the first and only person that has shown me a convincing reason to upgrade from my 550. I use whidden floating heads, FA micrometer seating die, and mandrel all very similar to your setup….. But no casefeeder or auto index, which I didn’t really see a need for until watching how fast your rig moves through the setup I currently use. Brilliant! Also, I couldn’t bring myself to spend 40$ on the A 419 funnel either lmao, the drop tube and tip work great with my 3$ brass funnel though!

    • @lukethings
      @lukethings 11 месяцев назад

      Haha A419 makes nice stuff, but some of the prices are insane. The speed is definitely a nice upgrade.

  • @MackEv_
    @MackEv_ 11 месяцев назад

    Same disciplines field and little PRS and same exact setup with the armanov heads. Prep on one head and make finished ammo on the other, prevents doing anything forceful other than seating which I think keeps consistency. Caught the armanov heads on a sale and just bought 2 for every caliber. On .223 I actually drop powder with the Dillon, XBR8208 is very consistent for a short stick powder, chrono and groups confirm so loading .223 is super quick now. Double alpha powder cop alerts within .1 grains variations. Doing the funnel thing for the everything other than .223 since Varget and 4350 don’t drop well but would consider switching to some of the staball powders for 6 and 6.5 cartridges but I’ve got an old charge master that throws just about as fast as I can seat a bullet. The case feed is the huge time saver IMO and would not bother with progressive without it.

    • @lukethings
      @lukethings 11 месяцев назад

      Agreed on all counts, I’m using Shooters World precision which is similar to Varget but might need to experiment with some other powders.
