Short action customs dies have had the ability to decap, size, and mandrel in one pull for a while now. It’s also extremely modular, however it’s very expensive
Hey Pete, if you’re using the M series or F-series die to do your decapitating when are you doing your cleaning? You’re not running dirty brass up into your die are you? Are you cleaning your brass with the primers still in it?
I was so excited to get that email last week!! Then I realize the 6mm sizes are not out yet, dang it! I am ready to get the 6CM as soon as released. I am all about saving steps, as long as it will also produce good results. I just added a mandrel die a few months ago to get even better neck tension repeatability, but I will gladly give up the cost of that die to be able to size and mandrel in 1 step. Plus, as usual with Area419, I expect the results will be even better than what I have now. Piet, got a cool challenge I am going to be putting together. Likely in the spring. If you make it to the US and want to give it a run, let me know. Would be great to see you run this. KYL rack at 500 yards. 12 down to 2 inches. Start standing, then drop to prone. after each plate is hit, before shooting at the next smaller, you have to change position to each of the 4 places on my PRS Skills stage prop. Then finish back in prone on the other side. Those last 2 targets, the 4 and 2 inch, after moving around quickly and getting the heart rate up, are certainly tricky!! Doing it for the fun of it and challenging myself to get on target faster after moving position. Figure I will make it into a challenge and have some other people out to give it a go. May try to get some swag for the best finishers. Still working the details, but it won't be official until spring when the time gives us longer days and the weather is not as cold!! Just thought I would let you know, if for some chance you will be around the middle of the country in the next months! Have a great Christmas, and I look forward to getting my own S die and testing it out. Very excited about this product!!
I heard you mention 223 trainer. Is your 223 trainer the same barrel length and barrel profile as your standard match gun? Or do you think that matters? I assume the action may be the same if the barrel length and profile differ.Let me know your thoughts.
I go with 2-3 thousands pretty much just like my 2 thousands shoulder bump. But the actual number doesn’t matter as much as that every piece is the same. It’s a small and final detail if your chasing a very precise load. But if all your loads in one lot have varying neck tension they will also have varying pressures (yea the difference will be very small). So depending on what your goals are with you loads it most likely is a negligible difference.
Piet! Area 419 stuff looks like some awesome top of the line and innovative stuff, and therefore commands the top prices. What do you recommend for intermediate reloaders? Not a beginner or “budget” setup but rather what would you suggest that is 80% as good as the area 419 setup at 50% the cost? Does such a combination exist?
Its hard to say given that I dont know the US prices that well. However Ive always had solid results with Redding and recently RCBS matchmaster dies too. Dies to avoid more importantly. Lee, Whidden & Hornady Iva had some bad results with.
It really will come down to what you want to get out of it. I am running Redding dies currently. Excellent results. I will be getting this S series, just to combine size and mandrel dies into 1 step. I dislike wasted time. Most of the name brands can give good results, as long as your process is solid. A good press is key to this as well. I have a few videos up about my learning process as I get further into the reloading game and the PRS game. But, if I can help, I will be happy to give whatever advice I can. Start with a good, solid press and learn the full process very well.
I’m sure this is a wonderful die, however it has never been mentioned by anyone on a video, or on Area 419’s website, if this is a bushing die. If you can’t set your neck with a bushing, I would definitely pass on this. I also am not a fan of having to buy a “set” of mandrels. Why can’t I just buy the mandrels I want? This seems to be a thing with Area 419, where you have to buy a “set” of things, whatever they may be, you can’t just buy the ones you really need. I will stay with SAC Modular Bushing Sizing Die. It uses a bushing, that you can buy whichever ones you want. It also uses mandrels, that you can buy just what you need. I just do not understand Area 419’s thought process on this.
Piet, you need to look up what "Wildly" means. Let me help; to a ridiculous or extreme degree. Example: "He has a tendency to exaggerate wildly". Area 419 dies (as with their other products) are nice kit, but there is a lot more that goes into getting consistent results. They've essentially made a nice expander ball full sizing die. And in the interest of presenting all sides here, there are many who would say pulling the sizing ball/mandrel through the neck is less desirable than pushing a mandrel or bushing because the case is no longer supported on the sides when pulling the case away from the die and may result in greater neck runout than sizing the neck during the downward stroke where the sizing occurs at the very end of the ram travel where the case is nearly fully supported by the die.
Oh no! Hes showing us products we might want! How could he?! I totally get it man, I love being in the dark about products related to a topic I care about and I for SURE hate getting more info on these products. My self control is so bad that if I dare watch a video about a product I have to buy it, I cant simply just say no! Idk how I will ever financially recover from videos like these.
@IMPACTSHOOTING except you mention sponsored products every video but let's just ignore that. So many channels are just about sponsors now. Gavin being one of the absolute worst. You're well on your way.
piet you have come a far way your content is just getting better keep on pushing

I am a bit lost
No bushing in this die
Is neck die necessary before this FL operation ?
Thanks for you video

Piet, thanks for the video! Curious where in this process do you anneal? Can you anneal before you decap the primers?
Piet became one serious content creator! Well done man. Maybe build a course on content creation?
I heard you mention 223 trainer. Is your 223 trainer the same barrel length and barrel profile as your standard match gun? Or do you think that matters? I assume the action may be the same if the barrel length and profile differ.Let me know your thoughts.
Do you have a video of importance of neck tension. I don’t understand the process of finding the perfect neck tension for rifle.
I go with 2-3 thousands pretty much just like my 2 thousands shoulder bump.
But the actual number doesn’t matter as much as that every piece is the same. It’s a small and final detail if your chasing a very precise load.

Area 419 is da boss!
Love your show, though!

Do you sell them….looking for a 6GT set…
Chat to the office and lets get some tiger magic for you on our next shipment.
That’s S series die and Dcapping

Gay Tiger... nice
I’ll tell ya these Apple products suck. You would think by now that they would have voice dictation down pat.
Would these work with really dirty brass shot out of an AR15 with a suppressor?????
This channel is just commercials now. Getting as bad as ultimate reloader

@Nixqy Ahhh another master of sarcasm, I love your work 🤣
@eggbert191 , to find my last product video you have to scroll back 5 months. So yeah your opinion is completely irrelevant and wrong. ✌🏼
@@IMPACTSHOOTING Same to you sir! Keep up the videos, I personally at least like knowing what's out there.
