    Yeah I saw that but it won't qualify for the $50 . That is, unless I only have to spend $300 total on different pieces. Then it would be better.

    YF,
    from what I understand reading the rebate form, it is 50 bux off a maximum of 300, send in original invoice as well as barcodes off the boxes/packaging.. whether it is 300 .01 or more, max is 50 rebate..but it has to be in rcbs product..

    I found it easier to get all at once,,since I was close..but that is just me

    you can always use shellholders unless you are getting a lee die set, as they come with them, or something to bell case mouths on pistol brass, or a crimp remover..or a brush.. or powder stand..anything rcbs makes..not just big ticket items..

    YF, your kit is missing some vital pieces to turn out precision rifle ammo. You realize that, right?

    Like:

    Case trimmer
    Vernier caliper (better would be a caliper AND a "bullet comparator")
    Concentricity gauge (optional but just barely in my opinion)
    Tumbler & media & separator
    Case lube
    Headspace gauge
    Crimp remover (if you ever want to use NATO brass)
    and maybe a few other incidentals . . . .
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

    I'm sure it has to do with your excessive attention to detail....

    The details make ALL the difference. Knowledge is power. Flying blind is asking for a collision with Mt. Everest.


    Really. YF I don't/didn't mean to offend you. But dammit this is just the kind of situation where the abstract needs to be reinforced with a reality check - if David is paying attention I think he may have gotten that.

    That was horrific. I think it sends the message home very well. #1 Pay attention.
