John, people are going to hate regardless of what you do or your accomplishments. Mostly jealousies, and opinions. I get ragged a lot because I bought a Sartorius Entris II BCE 223i scale with an Auto Trickler V3 set up last year. For me it was a no brainer over the FX120i. Between it and the LabRadar, there is no questioning my results from my load data testing, and the Forster Co-AX press, Neco Concentricity gauge and Hydro press confirms my case prep. The proof is on target and the numbers don't lie. For me,,, That's piece of mind and the reality of it is,, it's my business how I spend my money not any body else's. My most used,, common saying is,, To each, his own. Besides if you guys were not testing out the latest and greatest reloading tools. Guys like me would not know what tools to save our money up for next. I cut my teeth on Lee products when I started reloading and still use some Lee products to date. Mainly 45acp and 9mm. So let'um hate,, I'm loving every thing you are posting and I can't wait for the next video. Thank you Sir. Nothing but respect from ME.😎

Some will hate because they can’t afford it and yes there are more expensive presses, but it is unlikely that you can get a more accurate one. The machining that went into this and design of it is just better than so many others. There will be ones who love it and others who disagree, but I doubt that anyone is kicking if they have this press. It can beat your wallet up, but you can save up for it like gear changes with stereo equipment. The chase for higher grade gear is challenging. Don’t let the haters get your goat.

As someone with three dillon presses and a couple turrets on my bench, I find myself constantly reaching back to the trusty old rockchucker, especially for things like you mention "oops need a quick decap" or "Gotta pull a bullet." These tasks are the exact reason my rockchucker will always be on my personal 'forever list.' Curious where your dislike came from.

Not really a dislike for the chucker. What it really stems from is the fact that I only want one press on my bench.

They probably would make my life easier if I had multiple presses like you said but it’s just not the way my brain works unfortunately.

John, just bought one. When I size, I really have to lean on the handle to get the correct bump. To get concentricity, I have to press, turn case and press again. I am talking 2 arms to press on 28 Nosler Hornady brass. About twice the effort as my rock chucker....which makes no sense to me. I tried to call them and have not been able to talk to anyone there about this. Even on an actual bump die, it is crazy the amount of pressure I have to put on it. I mean I am pressing hard against the stops. So, after the double press, my concentricity is very very good...easily within .001". Then I move the turret to my Wilson expander mandrel die. Lube the neck and run it through the mandrel. Concentricity goes nuts. Lucky to get .004" out of round. Crazy bad. Do you see any of this with your mandrel expander die? I do not like the feel of the wilson mandrels and just trying to figure out what is going on. Not a happy camper when a rockchucker out performs it.

Sorry you're having problems. I don't speak for them and am not affiliated in any way but I haven't had those issues. I now a few friends of mine don't care for the lack of cam-over when sizing but have gotten past that. As far as your mandrel situation, I can't speak to the Wilson versions but I do know that the Porter Precision Gage Pin Holder kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fL5prbCYvpvPpGw.html has worked well for me and have zero issues. I also had good luck with the 21st Century mandrels sets. Both of these companies make great expander tools. One other thing and I only say this because I'm guilty of this, there's times where I turn the turret and forget to tighten the wrench and that will definitely mess up your consistency. I had that happen after seating 100rds of ammo and I realized it after I was done. I've also done it while sizing. After using the press for a while I can't say it's happened recently BUT it does happen and does have a big effect on it.

I'm using custom Newlon dies right now but also really like the Micron dies from Bullet Central. I have a Prometheus and an AutoTrickler V4 for powder.

On several videos, I've heard mention of your reloading class. Do you have an option to attend online or purchase your training videos?

I currently do a full in-person class and also cover some of it on my Patreon channel where I will be doing the full class next year.

@@justinsteinle9900 sounds good and I appreciate the support. I will be making some changes at the first of the year to Patreon but it won’t have too much affect for most people. Just be aware that there will not be a three dollar option after the first. I’m going to go to a uniform pricing plan so that everybody can receive the same level of information all the time which is what I’ve been getting the most requests for.

Do you prime and drop powder on the 419? Thanks!

Question: I've been rolling with the Wilson seating dies on my .284 win and I like them. I just pulled the trigger on the zero press. What dies to you like for this press? FL sizing, seating, etc.

Honestly if they’re working good for you just keep going with them, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. They’re quality dies.

John, I decided to purchase the ram prime that I saw you had used, I also sprang for the primal rights cps...but I wanted to know if you think the Lee ram primer pocket swager will work with the zero press? I have a couple of thousand 5.56 brass I'm going to reload and I saw the setup on video but didn't know if it will work on the zero press ram because of its design...I'd appreciate your thoughts

I honestly don’t know how the sewage would work but I’m guessing it should be fine. You may want to contact area419 and ask and see what they say. As for the Ram prime, I’ve struggled with it and have stopped tying to use it and just use the CPS and couldn’t be happier.

Hi John, I have a zero press have sized thirty rounds of 6.5 creedmoor brass on and the ram has worn off the coating up near the shell holder. Are you having any issues with the coating on yours ? I’m a little worried about it. I did message Area 419 waiting for a response. Just want your opinion.
@FClassJohn2 жыл бұрын
Yeah I’ve had a little wear on the ram itself but it seem like once that small area wore a bit it stopped. I’ve talked to them about it and they didn’t seem concerned and I haven’t noticed any degradation in quality. I had the same thoughts as you but the tolerances are so tight I guess it’s inevitable to some small degree.
