What did you do in the reloading room today?

Hoser, what is the size of that motor?

I'm assuming it's 1/2-HP, 1750-RPM ?

Not sure. But it has a lot more power compared to the PW autodrive I had hooked up to my Case-Pro.

Nice. Hoser is rolling his own.

I think I bought my Case-Pro/Rollsizer in the mid-late 90s. They make loading ammo so much easier and your reloads much more reliable.

I'm curious if you've taken some pre/post measurements to get an idea of how much the rollsizer is improving the case.

Yes. A roll sized case will be right at SAAMI spec or about .001 under vs full length resized case.

A roll sized case will be at SAAMI spec all the way down vs a reloaded case which can have a bit of a bulge at the bottom if the chamber was on the large size or if the ammo was on the hot end of things.

A resize die cant go all the way down due to the shell holder and radius on the bottom of a die. You cant get around those two with traditional dies.

So, you deprime on one unit, then size with this machine, correct?

No need to deprime prior to roll-sizing.

Tumble clean, roll-size it and then load it on my 1050.

Got the portable ac/heat unit set up and running today. Tomorrow i plumb in the utility sink.

Roll sized and processed a bunch of 223 and 308 for a member here. When you add roll sizing to a carbide trim die, life is so much easier.

Also got a little bit of full power 470 Nitro ammo loaded for myself. About 102 gns of H4831 under a 500 gn bullet makes for a good time. Not nearly the harsh recoil of a 458 Lott or 460 Wby.
