What did you do in the reloading room today?

I don?t know if I went the best route but I ended up buying the Frankford Arsenal kit. The larger one that?s rated for like 1K pieces of 223. Only used it twice so far but it works really well. My method for unloading it is sort of a pain. I need to come up with a double layer strainer system to catch the brass in the top layer and the pins in the lower layer. I?d say compared to the old vibratory tumbler it?s more of a pain but the results are way better so the extra work of sorting the pins from the brass and drying the brass is worth it to me.

I?ve also determined that warm water, a teaspoon or so of dish soap, and about a teaspoon of lemon juice works great. No need to spend money on any sort of magical cleaning solution.

Rollsized two 5-gallon buckets of 308 brass today. Such a cool machine.

Hoser, what is the size of that motor?

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

Nice. Hoser is rolling his own.

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

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?
