    .308. I looked into it and it's known that it's too thin. Said they would thread a different pattern and adapters are easy to come by, but it was going to be almost twice as much. Common with Axis, even in .223 I guess.

    Chick, I would go straight to loading what you shoot most. Sounds like you already have a background in tooling or machining, so it shouldn't be an issue for you.

    I'll trade you an RCBS single press for those gas cans. I have a set of neck sizing dies in .223 if you're interested. I don't research things much, but somehow came to the conclusion that I didn't want them. If you come to a different conclusion, you can have them. Do you have time to meet up tomorrow?

    Oh, and no pressure to trade, if you'd rather have $20 for cans, I can do that just as well.

    Glad our GSD is finally starting to mature. Getting to a year old has been much more challenging with her than the heeler.

    If she's loading for the AR she needs full length sizing dies, not a neck one. BUT if she does do the deal i have a set of FL 223 dies, somewhere.
    Or did you get them with the 550 ?

    The rcbs for gas cans is a nice offer and one worth while. great way to get started reloading.

    Interesting, i haven't had that issue (yet) and that's on maybe 6ish reloads. But i do inspect the brass and stopped picking up range brass a few years back.

    I appreciate the trade offer & the context for it but for right now I don't think I want to collect anything more until I have the knowledge & space to put it to use. Thank you though.
