1 When reloading .223 etc on a progressive I use two seating dies to seat in increments and improve concentricity. I save my straight line dies for singel stage ammo with weighed charges.

2 On target revolver rnds I don't crimp. I use a lee fcd set to just pass over the bullet. That way I still have neck sided rnds with no crimp and I can be sure the bell is not left to the point the rnd wont chamber.

3 I took one of the spring washers out of the shell holder for my rcbs trimmer. It works well and is much easier to use.

4 I took a piece of coat hanger and some press nuts and made linkage so I could use the lee bullet feeder on my pro 2000. I would like to try to make the case feeder work, but I havent tried it yet.
